I think Featureserver assumes you will run it under an appropriate
server (cgi, fast_cgi, wsgi etc). Yes you could use Apache with the
mod_wsgi module. If you don't want to use apache try gunicorn or uwsgi,
all of these can run both featureserver and django so you won't need to
run django as a dev server.

Note, I think I saw a django add-on a while back to produce a WFS
directly from django. It might also be possible to wrap Featureserver in
django.

Enjoy,
