Creating WSGI Middleware (Alan Thomas (https://www.meetup.com/pythonkc/members/184673224/)):WSGI (http://wsgi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) is the standard interface web servers use to speak to Python web applications. Understanding how WSGI works and the lifecycle of a request offers more control over the finer details of how your application responds. A WSGI middleware can sit between any number of Python frameworks and your server to provide a little extra goodness, whether it's logging, special headers, or other application-specific needs.
