Dear all,
what is the difference? Middleware?
I'm wondering because the only variables I ever needed were PATH_INFO,
REQUEST_METHOD, QUERY_STRING and maybe one more, all of which should
be available from CGI, too.
Thanks.

Yes, and also the fact that you have a large choice of WSGI web
frameworks to choose
from. CGI looks so much 20th century ... ;)

CGI starts up a new process for every request, using stdin/stdout for
passing information. I believe WSGI can do that, but I believe it can
also do in-process requests (think mod_python, only with a Python web
server), external process requests (think FastCGI or LRWP), etc.
I could certainly be mistaken, it's been a while since I looked into any
of it.

WSGI is intented as a gateway between a web server and a long-running
python application. Which means you don't have to launch a new Python
interpreter, import libs, parse config, connect to the database etc etc
for each and every request.
Also, it's (IMHO) much more usable than CGI. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Will there be a WSGI-server like BaseHTTPServer etc in the standard
distro? I think that would increase the adoptation of the
WSGI-standard. A new web-framework for python pops up every other week
and more and more support WSGI. Why not focus on getting an optimized,
production-grade fully documented WSGI-server into the distro? Right
now the BaseHTTPServer seems to be usable for development and testing,

Howdy all,
I'm trying to implement some new functionality for an existing PHP web
application. Rather than writing a whole lot of stuff in PHP, and
looking toward a future when more of the application can be rewritten
more sanely, I'd like to write a Python program that generates the
content and serves it up to the existing application via HTTP.
The existing architecture is as expected:

I love idea of WSGI and hope it succeeds. It seems to be helpful for

tempted to write his own framework.....they can now just mix and match
existing
components with WSGI //instead//.
I not sure what WSGI offers the web beginner. Aren't they still better
off
learning an existing web framework first before attacking WSGI?

So I keep hearing more and more about this WSGI stuff, and honestly I
still don't understand what it is exactly and how it differs from CGI
in the fundamentals (Trying to research this on the web now)
What I'm most confused about is how it affects me. I've been writing
small CGI programs in Python for a while now whenever I have a need
for a web program. Is CGI now considered "Bad"? I've just always
found it easier to write something...

Howdy all,
I'm working on a web application that is starting to gain a lot of
back-end code written in Python. However, all the current interface
code is written in legacy PHP. I'd like to slowly introduce new
features as Python WSGI programs.
Is it possible to write a Python WSGI program that talks to a PHP
program as its "back end"? Where can I find out how to do this,
preferably with examples?

I'm trying to figure out if there's any defined behaviour in PEP 333
for instances where an application returns an iterable as usual
without error, but that iterable's next() method eventually raises an
exception. Since any data theretofore returned by the iterable must be
assumed to have already been written to the client, thus making it
impossible to replace the response with a 500 error or somesuch, does
the gateway just absorb the...

The wsgiref module in Python 2.5 seems to be empty:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
So... is wsgi considered ready for production use, or is it still on the
bleeding edge? And if the former, which implementation should one use?

Hi,
Until now, I was running my own static site with Python, but I'm in
need of dynamism.
After reading some cgi tutorials, I saw Joe Gregorio's old article
"Why so many Python web frameworks?" about wsgi apps and have a
question about it. The code he gave works like a charm (I had to make
a little change because SQLAlchemy has changed since), but how the
hell can I serve static files (css, js, images, etc.) within an wsgi

I'm sorry if this is off-topic, i couldn't find a mailing list OR forum for
WSGI (and #wsgi wasn't very helpful).
i played around with StringIO, and apparently if you write to a stringio the
position gets set to the end of the write, so if you read from it again,
without using seek, you won't read what comes next, you'll skip to the end
of the write. and if you write without seeking to the end first, you'll
overwrite part of the string...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
