Idea
Historically, Python web application frameworks have been a problem for new Python users because, generally speaking, the choice of web framework would limit the choice of usable web servers, and vice versa. Python applications were often designed for either CGI, FastCGI, mod_python or even custom API interfaces of specific web-servers.
WSGI was created as a low-level interface between web servers and web applications or frameworks to promote common ground for portable web application development.

Famous quotes containing the word idea:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“He was not a villain—simply a self-indulgent spoiled young man who had realized to himself no idea of duty in life.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“So much of what I am I got from you. I had no idea how much of it was secondhand.”
—Pete Townshend (b. 1945)
