Run CGI apps under Python WSGI protocol (PEP 333).
This is a simple WSGI application that executes an external process and translates the WSGI protocol to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
Example:
from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server
import wsgi2cgi
def app(environ, start_response):
wapp = wsgi2cgi.CGI('/path/to/executable.cgi')
return wapp.application(environ, start_response)
httpd = make_server('127.0.0.1', 8000, app)
print "Serving on 127.0.0.1:8000..."
httpd.serve_forever()
The CGI class supports two arguments:
- command: absolute path to the CGI application executable.
- extra_env: additional environment variables.
The WSGI application can be used with any server supporting WSGI.
