Hi, Phillip,

I'm getting this error when I run the tests, with both Python 2.3 and 2.4:

====================================================================== FAIL: testHeaderFormats (wsgiref.tests.test_handlers.HandlerTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/disk/u/t/dev/misc/wsgiref/src/wsgiref/tests/test_handlers.py", line 205, in testHeaderFormats (stdpat%(version,sw), h.stdout.getvalue()) AssertionError: ('HTTP/1.0 200 OK\\r\\nDate: \\w{3} \\w{3} [ 0123]\\d \\d\\d:\\d\\d:\\d\\d \\d{4}\\r\\nServer: FooBar/1.0\r\nContent-Length: 0\\r\\n\\r\\n', 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nDate: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 23:28:11 GMT\r\nServer: FooBar/1.0\r\nContent-Length: 0\r\n\r\n')

This is probably due to Guido's patch to make the Date: header more RFC compliant. I'll take a look at it this weekend.

On a separate note, what are you actually proposing to include? It'd be good to remove the TODO list, for example, unless those are things To Be Done before adding it into Python 2.5.

Well, it looks like the "validate" bit will be going in, and we're talking about what to put in "router", so that'll take care of half the list right there. :) The other two items can wait, unless somebody wants to contribute them.

Will it be added as 'wsgi' or 'wsgiref?

I assumed it would be wsgiref, which would allow compatibility with existing code that uses it.

I'd also personally suggest putting anything intended for common use directly under the top level, i.e.

wsgiref.WSGIServer

vs

wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIServer

I'm against this, because it would force the handlers and simple_server modules to be imported, even for programs not using them.

And, finally, is there any documentation?

Only the docstrings. Contributions are more than welcome.
