I'm seriously surprised to hear this. What other standard library items are "toys"? If you really think that WSGI and its implementation are a "toy", then let's put it in the Python documentation -- not in the standard library. | > On Tue, Feb 14, 2006 at 12:00:57PM -0800, Guido van Rossum wrote: | > | Let's make it so.

I think you're going off the rails here Guido. There is nothing preventing a SVN repository for a week or so; with people experienced with real-live WSGI deployments to work on a quality (but minimal) module for Python's standard library. If you're worried about "feature bloat" have you even looked at the 190 line headers.py? I rest my case. I'm talking about a Sufficient _and_ Necessary implementaion of WSGI, I'm more than happy to help, and I'm more than happy to leave final discretion to Phillip Eby as he has demonstrated a serious command over the problem domain.
