To realistically put multiple end-user-visible applications in one process you need some styling system (for services/APIs it's not really important). There's two layers where this can happen:

* You can use a filter that applies styling to unstyled content. Deliverance, which I'm working on, does this (http://openplans.org/ projects/deliverance). We're going to add a few features here and there, but the project is pretty far along. It works as WSGI middleware, and we've built an HTTP proxy from that which is what we're actually using in deployment.

There is another solution here. Genshi's match templates can be used just like XSLT to add styling around the output that's coming from the inside.

True; anything XSLT-like fits the bill. A lot of what we're doing with Deliverance is aimed at making themable sites for untrusted users (MySpace-like); it's not terribly constraining to do so, but some of the choices we make are based on that. That will probably end up being a distinction between something written in Genshi and Deliverance.

The actual filtering logic for Deliverance has mostly been extracted into WSGIFilter, though I think I've probably broken that at the moment because I've done a major refactoring of WSGIRemote (which is in the process of a rename).

Proxying from Python to another service is also a useful way to apply this kind of styling to non-Python content; this is actually going to be our first deployment strategy with Deliverance. This just uses paste.proxy, and some glue code in WSGIFilter.proxyapp
