Repoze and WSGI
● WSGI standard began in 2004
● Repoze began in 2007
● Repoze is about:
– allowing non-Zope developers to take
advantage of Zope technologies via
WSGI
– allowing Zope developers to take
advantage of WSGI components

WSGI Components
● Servers accept requests from browsers/clients and
pass request data along to applications. They also
respond to requests using data returned by the
application.
● Middleware is an application that calls \"the next\"
application; functional composition forms a \"pipeline\".
● Applications return status, headers, response body.
