What needs to change to support uWSGI? You can already run keystone in
python uwsgi and then front it with nginx:

 $ uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:5001 --wsgi-file $(which keystone-wsgi-public)
--honour-stdin --enable-threads --workers 6
 $ uwsgi --socket 127.0.0.1:35358 --wsgi-file $(which keystone-wsgi-admin)
--honour-stdin --enable-threads --workers 6

 $ sudo vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/keystone

server {
  listen 5000 default_server;
  server_name localhost;
  location / {
    include uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:5001;
    uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /;
  }
}
server {
  listen 35357 default_server;
  server_name localhost;
  location / {
    include uwsgi_params;
    uwsgi_pass 127.0.0.1:35358;
    uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /;
  }
}

 $ sudo ln -x /etc/nginx/sites-available/keystone /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

 $ sudo nginx

and then you can make your regular curl calls.

Also, you can run keystone with regular http in python uwsgi (uwsgi --http)
and then just do normal reverse proxy (from Apache or nginx or whatever),
which I think would be adequate for keystone.

We don't do anything in keystone to stop deployments in web servers other
than Apache. Keystone is just a regular wsgi app. We document Apache since
it's popular and it provides mod_shib, which is the only saml2 module for
web servers that I know of. Keystone can work with other saml2 modules and
in different servers, it just takes the environment variables that the
module sets and runs it through some mapping code. The mapping code has
been shown to work alternative authentication modules (for ldap and
kerberos).
