And I repeat: you're welcome to your opinions about what's good or bad, but that has nothing to do with WSGI's design rationale, which is based on *different* goals. It is in fact a design goal of WSGI that someone who does NOT "know what they are doing" should be able to install Python web applications. After all, it is certainly possible for PHP applications -- often in *spite* of PHP's ridiculously global and mutually incompatible configuration options >And about an option for range control, it is true that it will >"force" an user to make a choice, but this is not a good reason for >not adding the option at all. In the context of WSGI's design goals, it's an excellent reason. If you have different design goals, you may disagree -- but at that point, you're no longer talking about WSGI. >This is about server flexibility: Which, as I've already explained, is an *anti*-feature relative to WSGI's design goals. Simply restating your opinion over and over won't change that. You are free to have different design goals, and even to argue that WSGI's goals are misguided. However, it is pointless to argue that these are *not* WSGI's goals (since I defined them), or to imply that such "flexibility" *supports* WSGI's goals (since it does not). _______________________________________________ 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
