[Web-SIG] [Python-Dev] Adding wsgiref to stdlib

Hello all,

I've been following the discussion around adding wsgiref to the stdlib and
it sounds like a very good idea. However I'm a little concerned as it
seems only wsgiref has been suggested to be included. I wonder if you guys
intend to review other implementations before going ahead? I ask this
because the simple_server.py module of wsgiref says:

"""It has not been reviewed for security issues,
however, and we strongly recommend that you use a "real" web server for
production use.
"""

Therefore, I wonder what is the final purpose of such addition? Is it
merely to have default WSGI implementation that *might* not be scalable in
production?

I have nothing against wsgiref mind you. I'm fairly sure Phillip has done
a great job but I simply wanted to know if you would consider checking
other implemetations.
