The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI, pronounced whiskey [1] [2] or WIZ-ghee [3]) is a simple calling convention for web servers to forward requests to web applications or frameworks written in the Python programming language. The current version of WSGI, version 1.0.1, is specified in Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 3333. [4]
Line 1 defines an asynchronous function named application, which takes three parameters (unlike in WSGI which takes only two), scope, receive and send. scope is a dict containing details about current connection, like the protocol, headers, etc.
mod_wsgi is an Apache HTTP Server module by Graham Dumpleton that provides a WSGI compliant interface for hosting Python based web applications under Apache. As of version 4.5.3, mod_wsgi supports Python 2 and 3 (starting from 2.6 and 3.2). [1] It is an alternative to mod_python, CGI, and FastCGI solutions for Python-web integration. It was ...
The Gunicorn "Green Unicorn" (pronounced jee-unicorn or gun-i-corn) [2] is a Python Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) HTTP server. It is a pre-fork worker model, ported from Ruby's Unicorn project. The Gunicorn server is broadly compatible with a number of web frameworks, simply implemented, light on server resources and fairly fast. [3]
Python Paste, often simply called paste, is a set of utilities for web development in Python. Paste has been described as "a framework for web frameworks". [1] The Python Paste package contains Python modules that help in implementing WSGI middleware. The package includes a WSGI wrapper for CGI applications. It also includes a simple webserver ...
uWSGI is an open source software application that "aims at developing a full stack for building hosting services". [3] It is named after the Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI), which was the first plugin supported by the project.
CherryPy is an object-oriented web application framework using the Python programming language.It is designed for rapid development of web applications by wrapping the HTTP protocol but stays at a low level and does not offer much more than what is defined in RFC 7231.
A work group chaired by Ken Coar started in November 1997 to get the NCSA definition of CGI more formally defined. [6] This work resulted in RFC 3875, which specified CGI Version 1.1. Specifically mentioned in the RFC are the following contributors: [2] Rob McCool (author of the NCSA HTTPd Web server) John Franks (author of the GN Web server)
