     3     Having grown tired of using the various massive Python web frameworks that no mere user could ever hope to

     4     understand or modify, and having already learned how fun it was to write plain CGI scripts in python, one day I

     5     stumbled across WSGI.

     8     WSGI is a low-level interface that provides the bare essentials needed to write something that can operate over

     9     HTTP. Working at the WSGI-level gave me the oppertunity to develop my own "framework" code which I could really

    10     understand and use properly, since I had written it myself.

    13     The result eventually became <strong>qmsk.web</strong>, a simple library providing what I, myself,

    14     needed to write <a href="/projects/www.qmsk.net">www.qmsk.net</a> and <a href="/projects/irclogs2">irclogs2</a>.

    15     I do not claim qmsk.web to be suitable for use by anyone else, and might recommend other projects like

    16     <a href="http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/">werkzeug</a> for general use, as they provide more features and less bugs in

    17     a better package with better documentation, but qmsk.web works well for me.
