"WSGI" stands for the Python Web Server Gateway Interface, defined in PEP 333.
The function quixote.get_wsgi_app() returns a WSGI application object for the current publisher instance.
This WSGI application ties into the publisher at the process_request method, and bypasses the process method completely.
For example, you can use the wsgiref module (included with Python 2.5 and later) to serve a Quixote application.
your_app.create_publisher() wsgi_app = quixote.get_wsgi_app() from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server make_server('', 8000, wsgi_app)
