<br>
PyWPS is not meant to run in production on Windows. It may still work … but I’m not sure. <br>
<br>
Using a docker container might already be a good alternative.<br>
<br>
There is a Flask demo with PyWPS … but outdated:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/geopython/pywps-flask" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/geopython/pywps-flask</a> <br>
<br>
Usually I use a cookiecutter template to setup a new PyWPS service which includes docker container support:<br>

<br>
For a full deployment on Linux with nginx/gunicron I use an Ansible playbook:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/bird-house/ansible-wps-playbook" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/bird-house/ansible-wps-playbook</a><br>
<br>
Currently in our projects people are mostly using the PyWPS generated by the cookiecutter … using Werkzeug/WSGI included in PyWPS either on the Linux host or in a container (for production).<br>
<br>
