Python can be run in multiple ways on an nginx server.

Do you want pythan code as a CGI script, then just look on how to run  
CGO on nginx

or do you wnat to run it via fast-cgi then you could look at flup  
[http://wiki.nginx.org/PythonFlup](http://wiki.nginx.org/PythonFlup)

or do you ant python WSGI code, then you could for example at uwsgi

[http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/](http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/)  
or at gunicorn [http://gunicorn.org/](http://gunicorn.org/)
