PyThon-specific Web Server Gateway Interface - alternative to CGI.

http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html

reference WiKi http://wsgi.org/wsgi

a way to integrate apps written in different Python Web Framework-s?

• deployment: ApaChe with mod_wsgi ([ModWsgi])

by Phillip J Eby - WSGI in itself is just a Python encoding of HTTP, nothing more

list of implementations

• Guido Van Rossum is supporting (Feb14'2006) using Phillip J Eby's implementation in the PyThon standard library

  • [Alan Kennedy] compares it to Python Paste and Cherry Py components as alternative candidates (though he was looking at the wrong chunk of Cherry Py code)

Les Orchard is a fan - I realized that it also makes web apps composable... I think one of the reasons I've been so taken with WSGI is that it's not another damn Frame Work.
