With HTTP/1.0 [and WSGI is HTTP/1.0 only] you have to provide a Content-Length header - so you have to generate the entire response at once [however you want to muddy "at once"]. Streaming responses to the client requires Chunked-Encoding [HTTP/1.1] which is not possible via WSGI. It took me quite awhile to believe that, but there it is. I ditched WSGI; handling HTTP isn't that hard. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
