PylonsBaseWSGIApp
Basic Pylons WSGI Application
The PylonsBaseWSGIApp class is accessible via the pylons.wsgiapp module.
This basic WSGI app is provided should a web developer want to get access to the most basic Pylons web application environment available. By itself, this Pylons web application does little more than dispatch to a controller and setup the context object, the request object, and the globals object.
Additional functionality like sessions, and caching can be setup by altering the environ['pylons.environ_config'] setting to indicate what key the session and cache functionality should come from.
Resolving the URL and dispatching can be customized by sub-classing or "monkey-patching" this class. Subclassing is the preferred approach.
