WSGI isn't really something an application programmer can use; or at 
least it's not likely to be a very satisfying experience if they do. 
I'm optimistic that at some point most of the actively developed Python 
web frameworks we have now will be ported to WSGI.  Ultimately, I think 
WSGI should be something a more casual Python web programmer wouldn't 
even realize exists.
