What with all the discussion that resulted from setuptools, we should probably also discuss the suggestion to add wsgiref to the standard library. PEP 356 doesn't have many details about what's under consideration.

(wsgiref is an implementation of the WSGI interface defined in PEP 333. I believe the latest version is at <svn://svn.eby-sarna.com/svnroot/wsgiref/src/wsgiref>.) I expect that most of the package would be added. wsgiref.handlers is the heart of it, and needs wsgiref.{headers,util}. wsgiref.simpleserver might be debatable; the module docstring warns that the code hasn't been reviewed for security issues, but on the other hand if there's a WSGI library, we do want the available HTTP server to support it.

I'd like simple_server; I've got an app based on it already.
