Hm?

FastCGI is a nice interface, not bad at all for high-load services. It's just that WSGI is little more 'pythonic'.

I guess it had something to do with the robustness of the FastCGI implementations back in the day, then. As for portability, switching server technologies shouldn't be an issue: most frameworks support WSGI, and most server adapters expose WSGI. Five years ago or so it was completely possible to write portable Python Web applications - I even wrote a framework for doing just that, pre-WSGI - but if you decided to just write code for, say, Django, I'm pretty sure the deployment opportunities based on WSGI are good enough.
