Comment:
It's become a bit muddy what would qualify as a "fix" for this bug.
`request.environ` exists; the only patch that's been submitted here is to
make it available under `mod_python` as well, but that's not really
relevant since the `mod_python` handler is deprecated and soon to be
removed. Having requests "proxy" the environ suggests perhaps something
deeper, maybe that changes to the `HttpRequest` instance would actually be
reflected in corresponding changes in the `environ`? Not sure how
important that actually is in practice.
Looking at Mark Ramm's initial comment about `call_wsgi_app`, it seems
that the actual request is to include something like
[https://github.com/alex/django-wsgi/blob/master/django_wsgi.py django-
wsgi] in core, to allow easy "adaptation" between Django view functions
and/or urlconfs and WSGI callables. The fact that that code is so short
demonstrates that the needed pieces are already in place, it's a matter of
making it more convenient.
I think adding such adapter functions to Django core makes sense, and
fills in really the last major gap in Django WSGI support. Filed also as
