This email is an official call for feedback from you as a mod_wsgi user as to what new features you would like to see added to mod_wsgi.
Part of the reason for the current code cleanup I am doing is to make it easier to add new features. I have for a long time had my own ideas for new features but my time to work on mod_wsgi has been quite limited for the last couple of years. This year though should be a lot different and expect to be able to do a fair bit of work on mod_wsgi to enhance and make it more versatile. Although I have my own ideas, I rarely hear from people out there actually using it as to what features they would like to see and which would make what they do easier. It seems you all just accept what you are given and don't question it. I am particularly surprised (at least that I know of), to not really see probing questions from people setting up these new breed of WSGI hosting services in the style of Heroku as to the best way they might use mod_wsgi, or to see feedback from them on what features they would like to see to make it easier. I know some are actually using gunicorn, but others are still using Apache/mod_wsgi. So, what new features would you like to see in mod_wsgi? I'll will describe one major feature just so people don't just ask for it when already well on the way to working out how to implement it. That one feature is the ability to define a template for a daemon process group with new daemon process groups setup according to that template being able to be started dynamically without having to restart Apache. That is, instead of having to change the static configuration of Apache, could be as simple as just dropping a WSGI script file in place and when a request occurs which gets routed to that, a new daemon process group for that application is created automatically, with it running with user/group corresponding to the ownership of the WSGI script file. Anyway, post your ideas and I'll comment as appropriate, indicating whether already being considered, not practical, or already implemented and you didn't know about it.
