Hi.

Some time ago I objected the decision to remove start_response function
from next version WSGI, using as rationale the fact that without
start_callable, asynchronous extension are impossible to support.

Now I have found that removing start_response will also make impossible
to support coroutines (or, at least, some coroutines usage).

Here is an example (this is the same example I posted few days ago):
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/199202/

Forgetting about the write callable, the problem is that the application
starts to yield data when tmpl.render_unicode function is called.

Please note that this has *nothing* to do with asynchronus applications.
The code should work with *all* WSGI implementations.


In the pasted example, the Mako render_unicode function is "turned" into
a generator, with a simple function that allows to flush the current buffer.


Can someone else confirm that this code is impossible to support in WSGI
2.0?

I don't understand why it's a problem.  See my previous post here:

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/web-sig/2009-September/003986.html

for a sketch of a WSGI 1-to-2 converter. It takes a WSGI 1 application callable as the input, and returns a WSGI 2 function.
