The 2010 mod_wsgi world road show.

FYI. I will be travelling to US, Canada and Malaysia for a holiday from late September. If any Python user group or company is interested in hosting a mod_wsgi talk while I am there, drop me an email at Graham.Dumpleton at Gmail. Cities where I will possibly have the time available are Los Angeles (??), New York and San Francisco in the US. Toronto in Canada and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The trip is primarily a family holiday so specific days I may have available will be limited, but we might be able to organise something if there is enough interest and people can help me get to where ever any talk may be held so I don't get lost.

Light hearted look at status of WSGI on Python 3.

From the #pocoo IRC logs. We can only hope it doesn't come to that. :-)
2010-08-01T18:06:29  <jokey> mm what's the state of current wsgi for python3 btw? what are the open points?
2010-08-01T18:09:17  <DasIch> jokey: str vs. bytes
2010-08-01T18:10:43  <DasIch> jokey: one side says everything should be str, the other says everything should be bytes, another side says it should be a mix of the two and all of those sides don't have anything to show which is the best solution
2010-08-01T18:11:33  <DasIch> jokey: then there is also the group of people that says that wsgi was even in python 2.x not that good in certain points and wants to create something else altogether
2010-08-01T18:12:28  <DasIch> jokey: as you can see it's only a slight disagreement which should resolve once we have only one side because everybody else died
Oh and please don't let this start up another discussion just yet. I am still trying to find some time to do one of my state of the union summary posts which covers in detail the issues around the use of % encoding with SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO.
