It's not clear to me how webob would benefit us. I mean, I see that we
are getting Request and Response objects, but these seem simple enough
to code in literally an hour or two. Maybe you could go into more detail
as to what you see is the benefit and how it may be used (I know you
said you are writing some example code, but maybe you could just outline
it in an email?)
Didn't I do this in my previous mail about code reuse? ;-) Maybe read
the documentation of it and in fact it's maybe not that simple:
http://pythonpaste.org/webob/reference.html
So it supports quite a bit (e.g. defines all the possible HTTP
exceptions), has full test coverage, is well known in the community, is
in production use.
For me that's enough. And even if it's just an hour I personally would
still reuse an existing component which seems to do the job just fine.
(I also doubt the 1-2 hour if you write documentation and tests and take
those things into account you might have forgotten in the first run. I
had projects enough where I thought 1-2 hours and ended up spending days
to do it properly.).
Code of it is here: http://svn.pythonpaste.org/Paste/WebOb/trunk/webob/
BTW, as it supports WSGI it might also be very handy to have when
implementing RHTTP as Donovan's implementation also makes use of WSGI,
which IMHO makes sense.

Speaking of reuse, here is a component I would like to propose for the
networking layer: webob.
What we probably need to do with such a networking layer is to pass a
request and get a response back. This holds things like headers,
method, content-type and so on.
So instead of implementing our own generic Request and Response
objects I suggest to use webob which basically gives you all that. It
seems pretty complete and is a rather small package. Moreover it also
provides WSGI support should this be needed (I would need it for my
idea of testing things without having a server to run). There is also
quite some documentation about it here:
http://pythonpaste.org/webob/
The author is Ian Bicking who is a well known Python expert and one of
the driving forces behind WSGI.
I am planning to code a little example on a branch which will use it.
Please discuss! :-)
