[Python-Dev] WSGI paranoia with stdout/stderr

There is fear and uncertainty in this pull request to PyPI -
https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/pypi-techtonik/changeset/5396f8c60d49#comment-18915
- which is about that writing to stderr _might_ break things in WSGI
applications.

As a consequence logging to console will not be accepted in debug
mode, which is disappointing, but not as disappointing as the absence
of proper explanation. Martin couldn't provide any grounds for his
fears, so I am asking fellow Python developers if anybody remember "if
writing to stderr can break things in generic WSGI application" and
reassure Martin that everything will be ok.
