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:
“I am a communist because I believe that the Communist idea is a state form of Christianity.”
—Alexander Zhuravlyov (b. 1924)
“If goodness were only a theory, it were a pity it should be lost to the world. There are a number of things, the idea of which is a clear gain to the mind. Let people, for instance, rail at friendship, genius, freedom, as long as they will—the very names of these despised qualities are better than anything else that could be substituted for them, and embalm even the most envenomed satire against them.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.”
—Miguel de Unamuno (1864–1936)
