WSGIkit module gives an ability to process low-level HTTP request parsing in WSGI applications and provide a comfortable way to work with the request data, such as: QUERY_STRING parameters, request body parameters, request headers, cookie variables, server environment variables and uploaded files.
It’s written in Cython and compiles to shared Python library from native C code.
For those, whom like how HTTP request handling done in PHP, - yes, this module parses the request data almost in the same way and provides almost the same containers (QUERY = _GET, BODY = _POST, SERVER = _SERVER, COOKIE = _COOKIE, FILES = _FILES, etc.)
To get this module work it is required to have Python 2.x or Python 3.x with Cython module and Python dev packages installed.
It was tested under Python 2.7.3 and Python 3.2.3, so if you find any problems installing and using it on other versions, please, post an issues at https://github.com/Mikhus/wsgikit/issues.
