There's an old Chinese proverb (well, I was told it's Chinese): "If a
hundred sages each tell you something different, the odds are that 
they're all wrong."  I think WSGIKit/Paste is a great idea, but as long
as a dozen people keep saying, "Use mine!  No, use mine!", the average 
"need to get it done for Tuesday" web developer isn't going to touch any 
of them.

Expect? No.  Ask?  Yes.  Believe that if they don't, they'll be
wondering in five years why Python has become the next Tcl, instead of
the next Perl?  Absolutely.

Thanks,
