+% XXX should this be in a PEP 333 section instead?
+\begin{comment}
+
+The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) v1.0 defines a standard
+interface between web servers and Python web applications and is
+described in \pep{333}.  The \module{wsgiref} package is a reference
+implementation of the WSGI specification.
+
+The package includes a basic HTTP server that will run a WSGI
+application; this server is useful for debugging but isn't intended for 
+production use.
+
+% XXX structure of WSGI applications?  
+% XXX provide an example using Django or some other framework?
