I was installing UWSGI and it looks like for the socket I can specify either a URL and port or instead I can specify a socket location file.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the difference is between these two, and if one is preferable to the other.

Thank you.

You can run uwsgi to listen to a TCP/IP port, for example uwsgi --http :80 , if you change it to listen to a Unix socket (for ex: uwsgi --socket :8000 ) then this is local only, no web service (TCP/IP) is exposed to the Internet and you have to put a web server like nginx in front of uwsgi as 'proxy' that can get the http requests from the outside world (see https://gist.github.com/evildmp/3094281 for a django example instead of Flask)
