Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/443

I recently updated to Django 1.7 / gunicorn 19.1.1 and webvirtmgr no longer starts with manage.py. Gunicorn emits an error about the command being depreciated and the server halts.

$ /usr/bin/env python2 /srv/webvirtmgr/manage.py run_gunicorn -c /srv/webvirtmgr/conf/gunicorn.conf.py

Is there an alternative startup method I can use with gunicorn 19?

On archlinux I fixed it with:

sed -i -e '/^command=/d' -e '$a command=/usr/bin/gunicorn-python2 webvirtmgr.wsgi:application' /etc/supervisor.d/webvirtmgr.ini
systemctl restart supervisord

as root of course
oh and also you need to have gunicorn-python2 installed
