We could suggest it, and suggest the attribute name. Composites, lazy
loading middleware, or a bunch of other situations can break it... but it's
nice for introspection tools to at least be able to attempt to run down the
chain. Middleware is almost always a closure if it's a function, I believe,
so you could still do:
def caps(app):
def replacement_app(environ):
status, headers, body = app(environ)
body = [''.join(body).upper()]
return status, headers, body
replacement_app.app = app
return replacement_app
