How to interpret the files.* parameters is not really a problem.
It's a problem for a portable application, which will have to be able
to parse both the original request and your server's rewritten version
of it.
In any case, your request rewriting is compatible with my proposal.
By the way: I see a problem with you API.
What happens if an application do:
read, write, exc = m.fdset()
environ['x-wsgiorg.fdevent.readable'](read[0], 1.0)
environ['x-wsgiorg.fdevent.writable'](write[0], 1.0)
yield ''
There is no way to know, when the application is resumed, if the
socket is ready for read or write.
This probabily should not be a problem, but I'm not sure.
The result of doing this is undefined, and I've updated the spec to
say so. The application shouldn't do it, and the server should
probably throw an error if it does.
In my implementation I return a function, but with generators in
Python 2.5 this can be done in a better way.
What advantage does this have over what I've proposed?
You don't need to store a mutable variable in the environ.
I don't see any problem with a mutable environ variable, especially if
it makes things simpler for server and application authors. But if
you want to do something fancier (like raising a Timeout exception in
a Python 2.5 generator), then it's easy to write a wrapper that does so.
