"wsgiref" — WSGI Utilities and Reference Implementation
*******************************************************

**Source code:** Lib/wsgiref

======================================================================

Warning:

  "wsgiref" is a reference implementation and is not recommended for
  production. The module only implements basic security checks.

The Web Server Gateway Interface (WSGI) is a standard interface
between web server software and web applications written in Python.
Having a standard interface makes it easy to use an application that
supports WSGI with a number of different web servers.

Only authors of web servers and programming frameworks need to know
every detail and corner case of the WSGI design.  You don’t need to
understand every detail of WSGI just to install a WSGI application or
to write a web application using an existing framework.

"wsgiref" is a reference implementation of the WSGI specification that
can be used to add WSGI support to a web server or framework.  It
provides utilities for manipulating WSGI environment variables and
response headers, base classes for implementing WSGI servers, a demo
HTTP server that serves WSGI applications, types for static type
checking, and a validation tool that checks WSGI servers and
applications for conformance to the WSGI specification (**PEP 3333**).

See wsgi.readthedocs.io for more information about WSGI, and links to
tutorials and other resources.


"wsgiref.util" – WSGI environment utilities
===========================================

This module provides a variety of utility functions for working with
WSGI environments.  A WSGI environment is a dictionary containing HTTP
request variables as described in **PEP 3333**.  All of the functions
taking an *environ* parameter expect a WSGI-compliant dictionary to be
supplied; please see **PEP 3333** for a detailed specification and
"WSGIEnvironment" for a type alias that can be used in type
annotations.

wsgiref.util.guess_scheme(environ)

   Return a guess for whether "wsgi.url_scheme" should be “http” or
   “https”, by checking for a "HTTPS" environment variable in the
   *environ* dictionary.  The return value is a string.

   This function is useful when creating a gateway that wraps CGI or a
   CGI-like protocol such as FastCGI.  Typically, servers providing
   such protocols will include a "HTTPS" variable with a value of “1”,
   “yes”, or “on” when a request is received via SSL.  So, this
   function returns “https” if such a value is found, and “http”
   otherwise.

wsgiref.util.request_uri(environ, include_query=True)

   Return the full request URI, optionally including the query string,
   using the algorithm found in the “URL Reconstruction” section of
   **PEP 3333**.  If *include_query* is false, the query string is not
   included in the resulting URI.

wsgiref.util.application_uri(environ)

   Similar to "request_uri()", except that the "PATH_INFO" and
   "QUERY_STRING" variables are ignored.  The result is the base URI
   of the application object addressed by the request.

wsgiref.util.shift_path_info(environ)

   Shift a single name from "PATH_INFO" to "SCRIPT_NAME" and return
   the name. The *environ* dictionary is *modified* in-place; use a
   copy if you need to keep the original "PATH_INFO" or "SCRIPT_NAME"
   intact.

   If there are no remaining path segments in "PATH_INFO", "None" is
   returned.

   Typically, this routine is used to process each portion of a
   request URI path, for example to treat the path as a series of
   dictionary keys. This routine modifies the passed-in environment to
   make it suitable for invoking another WSGI application that is
   located at the target URI. For example, if there is a WSGI
   application at "/foo", and the request URI path is "/foo/bar/baz",
   and the WSGI application at "/foo" calls "shift_path_info()", it
   will receive the string “bar”, and the environment will be updated
   to be suitable for passing to a WSGI application at "/foo/bar".
   That is, "SCRIPT_NAME" will change from "/foo" to "/foo/bar", and
   "PATH_INFO" will change from "/bar/baz" to "/baz".

   When "PATH_INFO" is just a “/”, this routine returns an empty
   string and appends a trailing slash to "SCRIPT_NAME", even though
   empty path segments are normally ignored, and "SCRIPT_NAME" doesn’t
   normally end in a slash.  This is intentional behavior, to ensure
   that an application can tell the difference between URIs ending in
   "/x" from ones ending in "/x/" when using this routine to do object
   traversal.

wsgiref.util.setup_testing_defaults(environ)

   Update *environ* with trivial defaults for testing purposes.

   This routine adds various parameters required for WSGI, including
   "HTTP_HOST", "SERVER_NAME", "SERVER_PORT", "REQUEST_METHOD",
   "SCRIPT_NAME", "PATH_INFO", and all of the **PEP 3333**-defined
   "wsgi.*" variables.  It only supplies default values, and does not
   replace any existing settings for these variables.

   This routine is intended to make it easier for unit tests of WSGI
   servers and applications to set up dummy environments.  It should
   NOT be used by actual WSGI servers or applications, since the data
   is fake!

   Example usage (see also "demo_app()" for another example):

      from wsgiref.util import setup_testing_defaults
      from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

      # A relatively simple WSGI application. It's going to print out the
      # environment dictionary after being updated by setup_testing_defaults
      def simple_app(environ, start_response):
          setup_testing_defaults(environ)

          status = '200 OK'
          headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain; charset=utf-8')]

          start_response(status, headers)

          ret = [("%s: %s\n" % (key, value)).encode("utf-8")
                 for key, value in environ.items()]
          return ret

      with make_server('', 8000, simple_app) as httpd:
          print("Serving on port 8000...")
          httpd.serve_forever()

In addition to the environment functions above, the "wsgiref.util"
module also provides these miscellaneous utilities:

wsgiref.util.is_hop_by_hop(header_name)

   Return "True" if ‘header_name’ is an HTTP/1.1 “Hop-by-Hop” header,
   as defined by **RFC 2616**.

class wsgiref.util.FileWrapper(filelike, blksize=8192)

   A concrete implementation of the "wsgiref.types.FileWrapper"
   protocol used to convert a file-like object to an *iterator*. The
   resulting objects are *iterable*s. As the object is iterated over,
   the optional *blksize* parameter will be repeatedly passed to the
   *filelike* object’s "read()" method to obtain bytestrings to yield.
   When "read()" returns an empty bytestring, iteration is ended and
   is not resumable.

   If *filelike* has a "close()" method, the returned object will also
   have a "close()" method, and it will invoke the *filelike* object’s
   "close()" method when called.

   Example usage:

      from io import StringIO
      from wsgiref.util import FileWrapper

      # We're using a StringIO-buffer for as the file-like object
      filelike = StringIO("This is an example file-like object"*10)
      wrapper = FileWrapper(filelike, blksize=5)

      for chunk in wrapper:
          print(chunk)

   Changed in version 3.11: Support for "__getitem__()" method has
   been removed.


"wsgiref.headers" – WSGI response header tools
==============================================

This module provides a single class, "Headers", for convenient
manipulation of WSGI response headers using a mapping-like interface.

class wsgiref.headers.Headers([headers])

   Create a mapping-like object wrapping *headers*, which must be a
   list of header name/value tuples as described in **PEP 3333**. The
   default value of *headers* is an empty list.

   "Headers" objects support typical mapping operations including
   "__getitem__()", "get()", "__setitem__()", "setdefault()",
   "__delitem__()" and "__contains__()".  For each of these methods,
   the key is the header name (treated case-insensitively), and the
   value is the first value associated with that header name.  Setting
   a header deletes any existing values for that header, then adds a
   new value at the end of the wrapped header list.  Headers’ existing
   order is generally maintained, with new headers added to the end of
   the wrapped list.

   Unlike a dictionary, "Headers" objects do not raise an error when
   you try to get or delete a key that isn’t in the wrapped header
   list. Getting a nonexistent header just returns "None", and
   deleting a nonexistent header does nothing.

   "Headers" objects also support "keys()", "values()", and "items()"
   methods.  The lists returned by "keys()" and "items()" can include
   the same key more than once if there is a multi-valued header.  The
   "len()" of a "Headers" object is the same as the length of its
   "items()", which is the same as the length of the wrapped header
   list.  In fact, the "items()" method just returns a copy of the
   wrapped header list.

   Calling "bytes()" on a "Headers" object returns a formatted
   bytestring suitable for transmission as HTTP response headers.
   Each header is placed on a line with its value, separated by a
   colon and a space. Each line is terminated by a carriage return and
   line feed, and the bytestring is terminated with a blank line.

   In addition to their mapping interface and formatting features,
   "Headers" objects also have the following methods for querying and
   adding multi-valued headers, and for adding headers with MIME
   parameters:

   get_all(name)

      Return a list of all the values for the named header.

      The returned list will be sorted in the order they appeared in
      the original header list or were added to this instance, and may
      contain duplicates.  Any fields deleted and re-inserted are
      always appended to the header list.  If no fields exist with the
      given name, returns an empty list.

   add_header(name, value, **_params)

      Add a (possibly multi-valued) header, with optional MIME
      parameters specified via keyword arguments.

      *name* is the header field to add.  Keyword arguments can be
      used to set MIME parameters for the header field.  Each
      parameter must be a string or "None". Underscores in parameter
      names are converted to dashes, since dashes are illegal in
      Python identifiers, but many MIME parameter names include
      dashes.  If the parameter value is a string, it is added to the
      header value parameters in the form "name="value"". If it is
      "None", only the parameter name is added. (This is used for MIME
      parameters without a value.)  Example usage:

         h.add_header('content-disposition', 'attachment', filename='bud.gif')

      The above will add a header that looks like this:

         Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="bud.gif"

   Changed in version 3.5: *headers* parameter is optional.


"wsgiref.simple_server" – a simple WSGI HTTP server
===================================================

This module implements a simple HTTP server (based on "http.server")
that serves WSGI applications.  Each server instance serves a single
WSGI application on a given host and port.  If you want to serve
multiple applications on a single host and port, you should create a
WSGI application that parses "PATH_INFO" to select which application
to invoke for each request.  (E.g., using the "shift_path_info()"
function from "wsgiref.util".)

wsgiref.simple_server.make_server(host, port, app, server_class=WSGIServer, handler_class=WSGIRequestHandler)

   Create a new WSGI server listening on *host* and *port*, accepting
   connections for *app*.  The return value is an instance of the
   supplied *server_class*, and will process requests using the
   specified *handler_class*.  *app* must be a WSGI application
   object, as defined by **PEP 3333**.

   Example usage:

      from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server, demo_app

      with make_server('', 8000, demo_app) as httpd:
          print("Serving HTTP on port 8000...")

          # Respond to requests until process is killed
          httpd.serve_forever()

          # Alternative: serve one request, then exit
          httpd.handle_request()

wsgiref.simple_server.demo_app(environ, start_response)

   This function is a small but complete WSGI application that returns
   a text page containing the message “Hello world!” and a list of the
   key/value pairs provided in the *environ* parameter.  It’s useful
   for verifying that a WSGI server (such as "wsgiref.simple_server")
   is able to run a simple WSGI application correctly.

   The *start_response* callable should follow the "StartResponse"
   protocol.

class wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIServer(server_address, RequestHandlerClass)

   Create a "WSGIServer" instance.  *server_address* should be a
   "(host,port)" tuple, and *RequestHandlerClass* should be the
   subclass of "http.server.BaseHTTPRequestHandler" that will be used
   to process requests.

   You do not normally need to call this constructor, as the
   "make_server()" function can handle all the details for you.

   "WSGIServer" is a subclass of "http.server.HTTPServer", so all of
   its methods (such as "serve_forever()" and "handle_request()") are
   available. "WSGIServer" also provides these WSGI-specific methods:

   set_app(application)

      Sets the callable *application* as the WSGI application that
      will receive requests.

   get_app()

      Returns the currently set application callable.

   Normally, however, you do not need to use these additional methods,
   as "set_app()" is normally called by "make_server()", and the
   "get_app()" exists mainly for the benefit of request handler
   instances.

class wsgiref.simple_server.WSGIRequestHandler(request, client_address, server)

   Create an HTTP handler for the given *request* (i.e. a socket),
   *client_address* (a "(host,port)" tuple), and *server*
   ("WSGIServer" instance).

   You do not need to create instances of this class directly; they
   are automatically created as needed by "WSGIServer" objects.  You
   can, however, subclass this class and supply it as a
   *handler_class* to the "make_server()" function.  Some possibly
   relevant methods for overriding in subclasses:

   get_environ()

      Return a "WSGIEnvironment" dictionary for a request.  The
      default implementation copies the contents of the "WSGIServer"
      object’s "base_environ" dictionary attribute and then adds
      various headers derived from the HTTP request.  Each call to
      this method should return a new dictionary containing all of the
      relevant CGI environment variables as specified in **PEP 3333**.

   get_stderr()

      Return the object that should be used as the "wsgi.errors"
      stream. The default implementation just returns "sys.stderr".

   handle()

      Process the HTTP request.  The default implementation creates a
      handler instance using a "wsgiref.handlers" class to implement
      the actual WSGI application interface.


"wsgiref.validate" — WSGI conformance checker
=============================================

When creating new WSGI application objects, frameworks, servers, or
middleware, it can be useful to validate the new code’s conformance
using "wsgiref.validate".  This module provides a function that
creates WSGI application objects that validate communications between
a WSGI server or gateway and a WSGI application object, to check both
sides for protocol conformance.

Note that this utility does not guarantee complete **PEP 3333**
compliance; an absence of errors from this module does not necessarily
mean that errors do not exist.  However, if this module does produce
an error, then it is virtually certain that either the server or
application is not 100% compliant.

This module is based on the "paste.lint" module from Ian Bicking’s
“Python Paste” library.

wsgiref.validate.validator(application)

   Wrap *application* and return a new WSGI application object.  The
   returned application will forward all requests to the original
   *application*, and will check that both the *application* and the
   server invoking it are conforming to the WSGI specification and to
   **RFC 2616**.

   Any detected nonconformance results in an "AssertionError" being
   raised; note, however, that how these errors are handled is server-
   dependent.  For example, "wsgiref.simple_server" and other servers
   based on "wsgiref.handlers" (that don’t override the error handling
   methods to do something else) will simply output a message that an
   error has occurred, and dump the traceback to "sys.stderr" or some
   other error stream.

   This wrapper may also generate output using the "warnings" module
   to indicate behaviors that are questionable but which may not
   actually be prohibited by **PEP 3333**.  Unless they are suppressed
   using Python command-line options or the "warnings" API, any such
   warnings will be written to "sys.stderr" (*not* "wsgi.errors",
   unless they happen to be the same object).

   Example usage:

      from wsgiref.validate import validator
      from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

      # Our callable object which is intentionally not compliant to the
      # standard, so the validator is going to break
      def simple_app(environ, start_response):
          status = '200 OK'  # HTTP Status
          headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]  # HTTP Headers
          start_response(status, headers)

          # This is going to break because we need to return a list, and
          # the validator is going to inform us
          return b"Hello World"

      # This is the application wrapped in a validator
      validator_app = validator(simple_app)

      with make_server('', 8000, validator_app) as httpd:
          print("Listening on port 8000....")
          httpd.serve_forever()


"wsgiref.handlers" – server/gateway base classes
================================================

This module provides base handler classes for implementing WSGI
servers and gateways.  These base classes handle most of the work of
communicating with a WSGI application, as long as they are given a
CGI-like environment, along with input, output, and error streams.

class wsgiref.handlers.CGIHandler

   CGI-based invocation via "sys.stdin", "sys.stdout", "sys.stderr"
   and "os.environ".  This is useful when you have a WSGI application
   and want to run it as a CGI script.  Simply invoke
   "CGIHandler().run(app)", where "app" is the WSGI application object
   you wish to invoke.

   This class is a subclass of "BaseCGIHandler" that sets
   "wsgi.run_once" to true, "wsgi.multithread" to false, and
   "wsgi.multiprocess" to true, and always uses "sys" and "os" to
   obtain the necessary CGI streams and environment.

class wsgiref.handlers.IISCGIHandler

   A specialized alternative to "CGIHandler", for use when deploying
   on Microsoft’s IIS web server, without having set the config
   allowPathInfo option (IIS>=7) or metabase
   allowPathInfoForScriptMappings (IIS<7).

   By default, IIS gives a "PATH_INFO" that duplicates the
   "SCRIPT_NAME" at the front, causing problems for WSGI applications
   that wish to implement routing. This handler strips any such
   duplicated path.

   IIS can be configured to pass the correct "PATH_INFO", but this
   causes another bug where "PATH_TRANSLATED" is wrong. Luckily this
   variable is rarely used and is not guaranteed by WSGI. On IIS<7,
   though, the setting can only be made on a vhost level, affecting
   all other script mappings, many of which break when exposed to the
   "PATH_TRANSLATED" bug. For this reason IIS<7 is almost never
   deployed with the fix (Even IIS7 rarely uses it because there is
   still no UI for it.).

   There is no way for CGI code to tell whether the option was set, so
   a separate handler class is provided.  It is used in the same way
   as "CGIHandler", i.e., by calling "IISCGIHandler().run(app)", where
   "app" is the WSGI application object you wish to invoke.

   Added in version 3.2.

class wsgiref.handlers.BaseCGIHandler(stdin, stdout, stderr, environ, multithread=True, multiprocess=False)

   Similar to "CGIHandler", but instead of using the "sys" and "os"
   modules, the CGI environment and I/O streams are specified
   explicitly. The *multithread* and *multiprocess* values are used to
   set the "wsgi.multithread" and "wsgi.multiprocess" flags for any
   applications run by the handler instance.

   This class is a subclass of "SimpleHandler" intended for use with
   software other than HTTP “origin servers”.  If you are writing a
   gateway protocol implementation (such as CGI, FastCGI, SCGI, etc.)
   that uses a "Status:" header to send an HTTP status, you probably
   want to subclass this instead of "SimpleHandler".

class wsgiref.handlers.SimpleHandler(stdin, stdout, stderr, environ, multithread=True, multiprocess=False)

   Similar to "BaseCGIHandler", but designed for use with HTTP origin
   servers.  If you are writing an HTTP server implementation, you
   will probably want to subclass this instead of "BaseCGIHandler".

   This class is a subclass of "BaseHandler".  It overrides the
   "__init__()", "get_stdin()", "get_stderr()", "add_cgi_vars()",
   "_write()", and "_flush()" methods to support explicitly setting
   the environment and streams via the constructor.  The supplied
   environment and streams are stored in the "stdin", "stdout",
   "stderr", and "environ" attributes.

   The "write()" method of *stdout* should write each chunk in full,
   like "io.BufferedIOBase".

class wsgiref.handlers.BaseHandler

   This is an abstract base class for running WSGI applications.  Each
   instance will handle a single HTTP request, although in principle
   you could create a subclass that was reusable for multiple
   requests.

   "BaseHandler" instances have only one method intended for external
   use:

   run(app)

      Run the specified WSGI application, *app*.

   All of the other "BaseHandler" methods are invoked by this method
   in the process of running the application, and thus exist primarily
   to allow customizing the process.

   The following methods MUST be overridden in a subclass:

   _write(data)

      Buffer the bytes *data* for transmission to the client.  It’s
      okay if this method actually transmits the data; "BaseHandler"
      just separates write and flush operations for greater efficiency
      when the underlying system actually has such a distinction.

   _flush()

      Force buffered data to be transmitted to the client.  It’s okay
      if this method is a no-op (i.e., if "_write()" actually sends
      the data).

   get_stdin()

      Return an object compatible with "InputStream" suitable for use
      as the "wsgi.input" of the request currently being processed.

   get_stderr()

      Return an object compatible with "ErrorStream" suitable for use
      as the "wsgi.errors" of the request currently being processed.

   add_cgi_vars()

      Insert CGI variables for the current request into the "environ"
      attribute.

   Here are some other methods and attributes you may wish to
   override. This list is only a summary, however, and does not
   include every method that can be overridden.  You should consult
   the docstrings and source code for additional information before
   attempting to create a customized "BaseHandler" subclass.

   Attributes and methods for customizing the WSGI environment:

   wsgi_multithread

      The value to be used for the "wsgi.multithread" environment
      variable.  It defaults to true in "BaseHandler", but may have a
      different default (or be set by the constructor) in the other
      subclasses.

   wsgi_multiprocess

      The value to be used for the "wsgi.multiprocess" environment
      variable.  It defaults to true in "BaseHandler", but may have a
      different default (or be set by the constructor) in the other
      subclasses.

   wsgi_run_once

      The value to be used for the "wsgi.run_once" environment
      variable.  It defaults to false in "BaseHandler", but
      "CGIHandler" sets it to true by default.

   os_environ

      The default environment variables to be included in every
      request’s WSGI environment.  By default, this is a copy of
      "os.environ" at the time that "wsgiref.handlers" was imported,
      but subclasses can either create their own at the class or
      instance level.  Note that the dictionary should be considered
      read-only, since the default value is shared between multiple
      classes and instances.

   server_software

      If the "origin_server" attribute is set, this attribute’s value
      is used to set the default "SERVER_SOFTWARE" WSGI environment
      variable, and also to set a default "Server:" header in HTTP
      responses.  It is ignored for handlers (such as "BaseCGIHandler"
      and "CGIHandler") that are not HTTP origin servers.

      Changed in version 3.3: The term “Python” is replaced with
      implementation specific term like “CPython”, “Jython” etc.

   get_scheme()

      Return the URL scheme being used for the current request.  The
      default implementation uses the "guess_scheme()" function from
      "wsgiref.util" to guess whether the scheme should be “http” or
      “https”, based on the current request’s "environ" variables.

   setup_environ()

      Set the "environ" attribute to a fully populated WSGI
      environment.  The default implementation uses all of the above
      methods and attributes, plus the "get_stdin()", "get_stderr()",
      and "add_cgi_vars()" methods and the "wsgi_file_wrapper"
      attribute.  It also inserts a "SERVER_SOFTWARE" key if not
      present, as long as the "origin_server" attribute is a true
      value and the "server_software" attribute is set.

   Methods and attributes for customizing exception handling:

   log_exception(exc_info)

      Log the *exc_info* tuple in the server log.  *exc_info* is a
      "(type, value, traceback)" tuple.  The default implementation
      simply writes the traceback to the request’s "wsgi.errors"
      stream and flushes it.  Subclasses can override this method to
      change the format or retarget the output, mail the traceback to
      an administrator, or whatever other action may be deemed
      suitable.

   traceback_limit

      The maximum number of frames to include in tracebacks output by
      the default "log_exception()" method.  If "None", all frames are
      included.

   error_output(environ, start_response)

      This method is a WSGI application to generate an error page for
      the user.  It is only invoked if an error occurs before headers
      are sent to the client.

      This method can access the current error using
      "sys.exception()", and should pass that information to
      *start_response* when calling it (as described in the “Error
      Handling” section of **PEP 3333**). In particular, the
      *start_response* callable should follow the "StartResponse"
      protocol.

      The default implementation just uses the "error_status",
      "error_headers", and "error_body" attributes to generate an
      output page.  Subclasses can override this to produce more
      dynamic error output.

      Note, however, that it’s not recommended from a security
      perspective to spit out diagnostics to any old user; ideally,
      you should have to do something special to enable diagnostic
      output, which is why the default implementation doesn’t include
      any.

   error_status

      The HTTP status used for error responses.  This should be a
      status string as defined in **PEP 3333**; it defaults to a 500
      code and message.

   error_headers

      The HTTP headers used for error responses.  This should be a
      list of WSGI response headers ("(name, value)" tuples), as
      described in **PEP 3333**.  The default list just sets the
      content type to "text/plain".

   error_body

      The error response body.  This should be an HTTP response body
      bytestring. It defaults to the plain text, “A server error
      occurred.  Please contact the administrator.”

   Methods and attributes for **PEP 3333**’s “Optional Platform-
   Specific File Handling” feature:

   wsgi_file_wrapper

      A "wsgi.file_wrapper" factory, compatible with
      "wsgiref.types.FileWrapper", or "None".  The default value of
      this attribute is the "wsgiref.util.FileWrapper" class.

   sendfile()

      Override to implement platform-specific file transmission.  This
      method is called only if the application’s return value is an
      instance of the class specified by the "wsgi_file_wrapper"
      attribute.  It should return a true value if it was able to
      successfully transmit the file, so that the default transmission
      code will not be executed. The default implementation of this
      method just returns a false value.

   Miscellaneous methods and attributes:

   origin_server

      This attribute should be set to a true value if the handler’s
      "_write()" and "_flush()" are being used to communicate directly
      to the client, rather than via a CGI-like gateway protocol that
      wants the HTTP status in a special "Status:" header.

      This attribute’s default value is true in "BaseHandler", but
      false in "BaseCGIHandler" and "CGIHandler".

   http_version

      If "origin_server" is true, this string attribute is used to set
      the HTTP version of the response set to the client.  It defaults
      to ""1.0"".

wsgiref.handlers.read_environ()

   Transcode CGI variables from "os.environ" to **PEP 3333** “bytes in
   unicode” strings, returning a new dictionary.  This function is
   used by "CGIHandler" and "IISCGIHandler" in place of directly using
   "os.environ", which is not necessarily WSGI-compliant on all
   platforms and web servers using Python 3 – specifically, ones where
   the OS’s actual environment is Unicode (i.e. Windows), or ones
   where the environment is bytes, but the system encoding used by
   Python to decode it is anything other than ISO-8859-1 (e.g. Unix
   systems using UTF-8).

   If you are implementing a CGI-based handler of your own, you
   probably want to use this routine instead of just copying values
   out of "os.environ" directly.

   Added in version 3.2.


"wsgiref.types" – WSGI types for static type checking
=====================================================

This module provides various types for static type checking as
described in **PEP 3333**.

Added in version 3.11.

class wsgiref.types.StartResponse

   A "typing.Protocol" describing **start_response()** callables
   (**PEP 3333**).

wsgiref.types.WSGIEnvironment

   A type alias describing a WSGI environment dictionary.

wsgiref.types.WSGIApplication

   A type alias describing a WSGI application callable.

class wsgiref.types.InputStream

   A "typing.Protocol" describing a **WSGI Input Stream**.

class wsgiref.types.ErrorStream

   A "typing.Protocol" describing a **WSGI Error Stream**.

class wsgiref.types.FileWrapper

   A "typing.Protocol" describing a **file wrapper**. See
   "wsgiref.util.FileWrapper" for a concrete implementation of this
   protocol.


Examples
========

This is a working “Hello World” WSGI application, where the
*start_response* callable should follow the "StartResponse" protocol:

   """
   Every WSGI application must have an application object - a callable
   object that accepts two arguments. For that purpose, we're going to
   use a function (note that you're not limited to a function, you can
   use a class for example). The first argument passed to the function
   is a dictionary containing CGI-style environment variables and the
   second variable is the callable object.
   """
   from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server


   def hello_world_app(environ, start_response):
       status = "200 OK"  # HTTP Status
       headers = [("Content-type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8")]  # HTTP Headers
       start_response(status, headers)

       # The returned object is going to be printed
       return [b"Hello World"]

   with make_server("", 8000, hello_world_app) as httpd:
