In typeshed (the repository for stdlib type annotations), we have defined a bunch of types to support annotating WSGI interfaces. See https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/master/stdlib/2and3/_typeshed/wsgi.pyi for the current version. Unfortunately these types are only available at type check time, which means that users need to do some gymnastics to use them in their own code. I think it would be worthwhile to add these types directly to wsgiref or to a new module (e.g. wsgiref.types). On the one hand users could use them at runtime easily, on the other hand they serve as additional documentation WSGI types. In my experience, WSGI applications and middleware often slightly misimplement the standard, which can make interoperability difficult. Both type checking and concrete documentation could help alleviate this problem. If the maintainers think this would be a good idea, I could provide a PR for both the types and the Python documentation. |
This seems useful to me but I don't have experience with wsgiref. pje is listed as the maintainer in the devguide but appears to be inactive. I'd suggest you open a PR and if anyone feels strongly against it, they can complain. |
Closing as the associated PR is merged and types are added now. |
