GIL is a problem - that has been acknowledged every time it has been brought up. There has been past attempts to remove the GIL - that slowed down the interpreter and the patch wasn't merged. Removing GIL is massive work and will make the i

And that is predated by # hello.cgi print "Hello World\n"; I wasn't trying to claim WSGI is the first web server to application server interface. I was just showing Rack and WSGI are similar, and Rack was WSGI inspired.

You sure have put effort and the project looks good, but I am missing the purpose. If the problem it tries to solve is parsing environ to form response objects, or providing vanilla middlewares, that problem is very well solved by a wsgi li

> In my view, the problems with WSGI are that it has an unpythonic API (see: start_response and environ), Why do you find `start_response` unpythonic?

by irahul 15y ago
I don't get the purpose. WSGI was meant to low level to cover the common minimum. If you want request, response semantics, use a higher level library - I use werkzeug which wraps wsgi, or flask which is small web framework built on werkzeug

Java's closures are a pain as they need inner classes to emulate closures - Python's are a lot easier, hands down. Java needs the local variables to be final for it to close over them. Python doesn't but you can't directly mutate it. Won't
