There's not just wsgiref; there's the possibility that other core and standard library changes may be needed. For example, the discussion from back in june: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-June/100733.html (that thread goes on for awhile) I'd personally like to see a plan which provides a path for both wsgiref, WSGI itself in python3 and the related changes to core which might be predicated, that way we can have some level of confidence we're not making the same misstep we made in the first place, making it so painful for the web frameworks/gateways/etc. jesse _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
