[Web-SIG] A Python Web Application Package and Format

[Daniel Holth]

I have read it all but to me the consensus so far is unclear. I'm not sure 
we are talking about Ian's original suggestion 'make changes to the Silver 
Lining format to make it more general'. I thought the idea meant 'make a few 
changes to a virtualenv so it doesn't depend on the absolute filesystem 
path' or 'define a directory tree with a site-packages subdirectory (a place 
where .pth files are evaluated) and a .wsgi script'.

I think I'll understand your proposal if you can walk me through the 
packaging and deployment of this application, with all bundled dependencies, 
metadata, the application lifecycle, lifecycle event callback scripts and so 
forth:

def application(environ, start_response):
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
    return ['Hello World!\n']
