[Web-SIG] CGI in PEP 444

[Klaus Bremer]

CGI may be old fashioned, but in my opinion Ron got the point. And for simple applications CGI is fast enough.
I don't want to miss this option.

This is 2011, and we should promote modern idioms, not encourage people to do 1995 Web programming. 10 years ago, CGI was already frown upon. (and even the idea that WSGI should provide some kind of CGI compatibility sounds a bit ridiculous to me) Regards Antoine.
