I'm happy either way, since CherryPy abstracts it all away. Decide already and I'll implement it. > 2. Do we skip WSGI 1.X completely for Python 3.X and go straight to > WSGI 2.0 for Python 3.X? +1 for skipping straight to unicode in Python 3. But call it "1.1" not "2.0". > I added a new question I think should be asked too: > > 3. Do we skip WSGI 2.0 as specified in the PEP and go straight to > WSGI 3.0 and drop start_response? No. We need more time to discuss and try to implement the large architectural changes in that. I need to ship CP 3.2 soon and would like it to have a better Python 3 story than the "bytes-everywhere" (or "unicode pretending to be bytes") of WSGI 1.0. We have working code, which uses unicode in Python 3. Maybe I'll call it "wsgi.version = (1, 'cp32')" and let the spec come later if we can't see the trees for the forest.
