[Web-SIG] WSGI: Another level of indirection

[Ian Bicking]

Maybe a way to handle this configuration is to put in another level of 
abstraction, sad as that is.

I'm thinking configuration files could have something like PEP 263's 
encodings, except that it would be an indication of who knows how to 
build the WSGI application from the file.  So it might look like:

# -*- wsgi-build: paste.wsgi_deploy:DeploymentConfig -*-

Which would work with the experimental stuff I mentioned before.  It 
should also work with .ini files, Python source, and probably other 
configuration file syntaxes.  At some point perhaps we'll come up with a 
standard (aka default) builder, but this could remain useful despite 
that.  It also means I can go forward with this right now and still be 
future compatible.
