I don't see any reason this tool would be Pyramid-specific. PasteScript is
generally useful and I haven't seen a compelling reason to change that.

This is also entirely independent of the porting issue. PasteDeploy is
already ported so we aren't actively searching for a replacement for the
reason of running it on py3k.

PasteScript already bundles the CherryPy WSGI server in its package. This
would probably be the logical thing to keep when looking for a default
cross-version compatible server to use. Most other servers I'm aware of are
not pure-python and have higher barrier to entry when setting up.
