PEP 222: Web programming improvements

[Andrew Kuchling]

A while ago I proposed a PEP to improve Python's facilities for Web
programming:

http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0222.html

Since then I've gotten essentially no feedback on it.  There are piles
of other things to work on, so if no one cares about improving cgi.py,
then the PEP might well get abandoned; no point in improving code
nobody cares about.

For the record, if PEP 222 does get some more work, my inclination is
to create a new module or package that contains HTTP Request/Response
classes, similar to those in Zope, Webware, Quixote, and pretty much
every other Web development system.  These would wrap up forms,
cookies, and environment variables into a single object, handle
redirections for you, etc.  But this means designing a new
interface...
