[Web-SIG] wsgi layers

[David Warnock]

Hi,

Is my understanding correct in terms of layers

A web browser sends requests to a WSGI enabled web server (eg mod_python 
under apache, or medusa or twisted) which passes them through installed 
WSGI middleware layers (eg session management, gzip, cookie consolidator 
etc) to an application hosted inside a WSGI enabled application 
framework (eg quixote).

So the intention is that the application is written within the features 
of a specific WSGI enabled application framework while it can be hosted 
(via the way it's framework is WSGI compliant) in any WSGI server 
environment.

If all this is so, then I am confused about which projects are currently 
implementing/planning to implement wsgi as servers and as application 
frameworks. My assumption is that the servers being pluggable don't need 
to be my first concern as long as there is something that can be used 
for testing. But the application framework is the critical one for 
application developers. What is the state of play here?

Thanks

Dave
