Try help(wsgiref).

I would say that WSGI (the spec) is ready for production use whereas
wsgiref
(the implementation in the standard library) is intended for easy
development
and testing purposes, not for industrial strenght deployement. On the
other hand Zope 3 uses Twisted via WSGI as a business class server,
and I hear that mod_wsgi is slightly more performant than mod_python,
so those are the first options I would consider. But you could post on
the WSGI list for more.
