Hi, Phillip,

I'm getting this error when I run the tests, with both Python 2.3 and
2.4:

======================================================================
FAIL: testHeaderFormats (wsgiref.tests.test_handlers.HandlerTests)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/disk/u/t/dev/misc/wsgiref/src/wsgiref/tests/test_handlers.py", line 205, in testHeaderFormats

On a separate note, what are you actually proposing to include?  It'd be
good to remove the TODO list, for example, unless those are things To Be
Done before adding it into Python 2.5.

Will it be added as 'wsgi' or 'wsgiref?

I'd also personally suggest putting anything intended for common use
directly under the top level, i.e.

	wsgiref.WSGIServer

vs

	wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIServer

And, finally, is there any documentation?

I'm happy to help with renaming, doc writing, etc.  Just point me in the
right direction!

cheers,
