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:
“The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
—Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)
“Thrift is an attractive idea until you get down to specifics.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“You’ve no idea what a poor opinion I have of myself—and how little I deserve it.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
