| middleware | ||
| *Middleware* is a :term:`WSGI` concept. It is a WSGI component | ||
| that acts both as a server and an application. Interesting uses | ||
| for middleware exist, such as caching, content-transport | ||
| encoding, and other functions. See `WSGI.org <https://wsgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ | ||
| or `PyPI <https://pypi.org/search/?c=Topic+%3A%3A+Internet+%3A%3A+WWW%2FHTTP+%3A%3A+WSGI+%3A%3A+Middleware>`_ to find middleware for your | ||

| asyncore | ||
| A Python standard library module for asynchronous communications. See :mod:`asyncore`. | ||
| .. versionchanged:: 1.2.0 | ||
| Waitress has now "vendored" asyncore into itself as ``waitress.wasyncore``. | ||
| This is to cope with the eventuality that asyncore will be removed from the Python standard library in Python 3.8 or so. | ||
