Reference?

See:

 http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2009/09/roadmap-for-python-wsgi-specification.html

Anyone else jumping in on this conversation with their own opinions
and who has not read it, should perhaps at least read that. Also read
some of the earlier posts in the numerous discussions this spawned at:

 http://groups.google.com/group/python-web-sig?lnk=

as the current thinking isn't exactly what I blogged about and has
shifted a bit as the discussion has progressed.

Most things is not the Web. How will you handle serving images through
WSGI?
Compressed content?  PDFs?

You are perhaps misunderstanding something. A WSGI application still
should return bytes.

The whole concept of any sort of fallback to allow unicode data to be returned for response content was purely so the canonical hello world
application as per Python 2.X could still be used on Python 3.X.

So, we aren't saying that the only thing WSGI applications can return
is unicode strings for response content.

Have you read my original blog post that triggered all this discussion
this time around?

here is a summary:
 Apart from python3 compatibility(which should be good enough
reason), utf-8 is what's used in http a lot these days. Most things layered on top of wsgi are using utf-8 (django etc), and lots of web
clients are using utf-8 (firefox etc).

Why not move to unicode?
