Actually, I suggest a WSGI server that *can* be used with threading middleware. > WSGI doesn't seem like a good fit for that, though. ... > I think in this particular case -- barring direct changes to Twisted -- > it would make more sense to build on Twisted's non-WSGI asyncronous > application support, and build a threadpool that calls WSGI from there.

That's what I'll do if I have to. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
