CGI is by far the quickest and easiest way to write and deploy very
simple web site scripts. As you move to improve Python for important
industrial strength web programming, why not also continue to support
quick and dirty web interactivity scripts?
Because CGI is an old fashion way to make the things and is very different
from the strength web programming. I don't say that we have to abandon the
easy way but wsgi provides an easy way to work and with the PEP-3333 will
be able in Py3k so CGI will be no useless.

we are at it, could we get rid of the "CGI server example" in this new
SWGI spec? This is 2011, and we should promote modern idioms, not
encourage people to do 1995 Web programming. 10 years ago, CGI was
already frown upon. (and even the idea that WSGI should provide some kind
of CGI compatibility sounds a bit ridiculous to me) Regards Antoine.

it's by far the easiest thing to deploy on a lot of web hosts. Hell, even
Google App Engine *emulates* CGI in its default deployment configuration,
IIRC. So it's not exactly obsolete.
