WSGI is an API, not a wire protocol. The Python version of the WSGI server would also be the Python version the code is run under, so we must distinguish between Python 2 and 3. The best way would probably be to specify that httpd-wsgi is for Python 2 and create a httpd-wsgi3 virtual package for Python 3.
