At the risk of offending you guys with my continual blabbering, I do like the "tools not policy" approach shared by the FreeBSD and Mason worlds. For instance, the Apache project has nice session libraries for Perl. Everyone wrote their own plugins for the common API. Since the library is a tool, not a framework, anyone can use it with their existing framework. At the risk of showing my ignorance concerning WSGI, it's easier to use a session library in Perl than a session library in WSGI, because the session library has no knowledge of anything in your application, not even a context object. It doesn't even have to be a Web application. It doesn't tell you how you have to write your app. You pick the version of the session library that makes sense for your environment.
At the risk of sounding overzealous, maybe we should just steal their API. We can each rewrite whatever session implementations we need, stealing heavily from our existing code. For something so low level, this is one place were we could share easily, as I've heard many other people say. It'd be easy to use it with WSGI, but wouldn't necessarily even be Web related :-/ Happy Hacking, -jj -- I have decided to switch to Gmail, but messages to my Yahoo account will still get through. _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
