How about this:

     def make_middleware(application):

         def middleware(environ, start_response):

             def extra_response(status,headers):
                 write = start_response(status, headers)
                 write('Hello world!\n')
                 return write

             return application(environ, extra_response)

     return middleware

Calling 'make_middleware(some_application)' creates a new "application" 
object that can be supplied to a server, that prepends "Hello world" to the 
body of every response issued by the original application object.
