if you're a total beginer, and doesn't have any previous experience
setting up and deploying web servers, I'd advice to just avoid the
issue until you're comfortable with Django itself.

IOW: stay with the development server (the one that runs with "python
manage.py runserver"). When you have a project or two that want to
deploy, then start planning your deployment strategy.

in any case, i think many people agree that gunicorn is one of the
easiest to setup. I myself like nginx+uWSGI, and many others like
Apache+mod_wsgi, but none of these are needed for development.
