Given that wsgiref is in the stdlib, I think we should hold up the 3.2 release (and even the first beta) until this is resolved, unless we can convince ourselves that it's okay to delete wsgiref from the stdlib (which sounds unlikely but may not be any more incompatible than making it work properly :-).
I'm not sure I agree with this. Considering that:
- a PEP can be written at any time, and third-party implementations made compatible independently of our release schedule, and
- a wsgi3ref package can be uploaded to the Cheese Shop as soon as the PEP is finalized,
I don't see what we gain by holding up the 3.2 release. Some writing a Web application will need third-party modules anyway, so downloading wsgi3ref shouldn't be too painful.
On the other hand, if 3.2 is delayed by a month or more, I might try to push for rapid acceptance of PEP 3151, in the hope that the implementation is ready before the first beta!
Regards
Antoine.
