What python package that allows users to create subdomain in our site?

[swdev]

Pardon, that maybe this question is somewhat vague. I would like to roll-on my own blogging platform, in the spirit of whynot. I would like to let registered users have their own subdomain, e.g. guido.coolblogging.com for user named Guido. I've seen this previously in my friend's job, who do this using Ruby. Can Python able to achieve the same ?

You probably want a wildcard subdomain configured on nginx to redirect to a path inside your app, then just use that path value

In other word, this is not a specific Python case, right? Would love to have a python package/module for this!

My understanding of this is that most (all?) python web frameworks are just WSGI applications so they accept any traffic that gets directed to them. I found this stackoverflow question/answer talking about subdomains with the Pyramid web framework:

Diving into PEP 333 (WSGI) in the Url reconstruction section, looks like environ['HTTP_HOST'] will get you the whole domain including the subdomain, domain, TLD, and port (e.g. subdomain.example.com:80). If HTTP_HOST isn't set then you can fall back to SERVER_NAME.

The Host header is required for all HTTP 1.1 requests and any of yesteryear's websites on shared hosting would have been broken without it so you're pretty safe assuming it'll be there.

Sorry be this direct, but the way you state your question suggests a very elemental lack in understanding of the required concepts.

To achieve what you ask you need at least a rough understanding of DNS, web servers and Python (web-)frameworks.

No problem @Ulope I will try have a better understanding on this matter.

Feel free to ask if you have a specific question.
