[Web-SIG] Python Web Modules - Improved WSGI Support

[James Gardner]

Hi All,

Whilst we are discussing WSGI implementations it might be worth 
mentioning that the Python Web Modules WSGI support has been vastly 
improved. There is some fairly comprehensive documentation and lots of 
examples (including a full application example which adds data to a 
database using forms and sign in) and a server on which to test them.

Of particular note, I've implemented some of the suggestions made on 
this list:

* Auth middleware can catch 403 status responses and automatically 
display a sign in form, handle sign in attempts, and redirect to the 
original page on successful sign in.
* Error handling middleware can email error reports as well as display 
debug logs
* Error document middleware can be used to catch unknown status codes 
and automatically display an appropriate error document either from a 
file, from a string or dynamically generated.

Other improvements to the modules include a far better session API and 
an auth API that supports roles, access levels, groups, active/disabled, 
encryption, multiple applications and a much more sensible API.

Cheers,

James
