An Introduction to the Python Web Server Gateway Interface

WSGI is a specification, laid out in PEP 333 , for a standardized interface between Web servers and Python Web frameworks/applications.

The goal is to provide a relatively simple yet comprehensive interface capable of supporting all (or most) interactions between a Web server and a Web framework. (Think “CGI” but programmatic rather than I/O based.)

Choice is good; WSGI makes choice a matter of developer opinion rather than technical compatibility.
