Dear Reader,
Welcome to another issue of XML.com.
This week, James Gardner introduces us to WSGI, the secret Python web
weapon that's making a huge difference in the way the Python web-framework
ecosphere is developing. WSGI is the reason why it's now a good thing that
there isn't just one, blessed Python web framework. That is, thanks to
WSGI, there will never be a Rails for Python -- and that's good news.
If you care about Python web programming and don't yet know about WSGI,
James's article is a must-read.
