Damjan Georgievski commented on MODPYTHON-74:
---------------------------------------------

I vote for this feature to be added in mod_python.
I know some of the mod_python developers don't quite like WSGI but consider 
that today there are not much exlusively mod_python applications (and some 
people need/want to use web servers other than Apache). 
This means that, current applications can't depend on mod_python features, but 
most often they don't even need the special mod_python features.

Current applications also implement special glue code to use the app with 
mod_python, scgi, cgi etc.. In the future, applications developers would want 
to avoid that, and you can see that almost all of the new web-app development 
is based on WSGI. You can even run Zope in a WSGI server (I wonder if anyone 
tried to do it in mod_python/WSGI).

Including modpython_gateway (possibly as mod_python.wsgi) in the mod_python 
distribution will make mod_python an easy choice for serving WSGI applications 
without the need to hunt down mod_python WSGI implementations.

Also I'd suggest that some features are implemented in modpython_gateway:
- sendfile support 
(http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/#optional-platform-specific-file-handling)
- more robust PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME detection, possibly without the 
"PythonOption SCRIPT_NAME" hack.... well, I think this might not be possible 
but it would be great if is.
