Damjan Georgievski commented on MODPYTHON-74:
---------------------------------------------

I vote for this feature to be added in mod_python.
I know some of the mod_python developers don't quite like WSGI but consider 
that today there are not much exlusively mod_python applications (and some p
eople need/want to use web servers other than Apache).
This means that, current applications can't depend on mod_python features, b
ut most often they don't even need the special mod_python features.

Current applications also implement special glue code to use the app with mo
d_python, scgi, cgi etc.. In the future, applications developers would want 
to avoid that, and you can see that almost all of the new web-app developmen
t is based on WSGI. You can
even run Zope in a WSGI server (I wonder if anyone tried to do it in mod_pyt
hon/WSGI).

Including modpython_gateway (possibly as mod_python.wsgi) in the mod_python 
distribution will make mod_python an easy choice for serving WSGI applicatio
ns without the need to hunt down mod_python WSGI implementations.

Also I'd suggest that some features are implemented in modpython_gateway:
- sendfile support (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-...c-file-handling)
- more robust PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME detection, possibly without the "Pyt
honOption SCRIPT_NAME" hack.... well, I think this might not be possible but
 it would be great if is.
