Another solution would be writing uWSGI plugins:

http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/browser/plugins/example/example_plugin.c

You will end with items passed by nginx to your app easy accessible and
you will not need to learn how to program a server/daemon
and focus on your app.

In addition to this your app will be accessibile via uwsgi/http/fastcgi
and can use the whole uwsgi api and operational modes
(preforked/threaded/async/green).

The doc on writing plugins is not available, but you can subscribe to the
uWSGI list and ask for help (or read the sources of the other plugins).
