What is the IIS equivalent of mod_wsgi's WSGIScriptAlias?

Question

I'm trying to get Django running on IIS 6 using pyisapie and I'm having some trouble. I have pyisapie working on IIS, but it only works if I specify the full url to a specific python script like so:

http://localhost/sample/test.py

I have PyISAPIe.dll set as a wildcard application map for the virtual directory where my application lives. The part that I don't understand is how do I tell PyISAPIe.dll which python script to execute when I hit my virtual directory from the url?

I want to be able to navigate to

http://localhost/sample/any/thing/that/I/want/right/here

and have test.py be executed. If I try the 2nd url now, I get a 404.

http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/creating/iiscgihowto.html See above link as well. Have no experience here but thought that IIS supported CGI therefor why not wsgi?

Answer 2

If you need to specify an existing file.py, then you probably put in the configuration of the Virtual Directory on IIS6 an Application extension with PyISAPIe.dll instead of a Wildcard Application map (lower pane) in the Application Configuration screen. For me it works now.
