Description: These provide several pieces of "middleware" (or filters) that can be nested to build web applications.  Each
        piece of middleware uses the WSGI (`PEP 333`_) interface, and should
        be compatible with other middleware based on those interfaces.
        
        .. _PEP 333: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html
        
        Includes these features...
        
        Testing
        -------
        
        * A fixture for testing WSGI applications conveniently and in-process,
        in ``paste.fixture``
        
        * A fixture for testing command-line applications, also in
        ``paste.fixture``
        
        * Check components for WSGI-compliance in ``paste.lint``
        
        Dispatching
        -----------
        
        * Chain and cascade WSGI applications (returning the first non-error
        response) in ``paste.cascade``
        
        * Dispatch to several WSGI applications based on URL prefixes, in
        ``paste.urlmap``
        
        * Allow applications to make subrequests and forward requests
        internally, in ``paste.recursive``
        
        Web Application
        ---------------
        
        * Run CGI programs as WSGI applications in ``paste.cgiapp``
        
        * Traverse files and load WSGI applications from ``.py`` files (or
        static files), in ``paste.urlparser``
        
        * Serve static directories of files, also in ``paste.urlparser``; also
        in that module serving from Egg resources using ``pkg_resources``.
        
        Tools
        -----
        
        * Catch HTTP-related exceptions (e.g., ``HTTPNotFound``) and turn them
        into proper responses in ``paste.httpexceptions``
        
        * Several authentication techniques, including HTTP (Basic and
        Digest), signed cookies, and CAS single-signon, in the
        ``paste.auth`` package.
        
        * Create sessions in ``paste.session`` and ``paste.flup_session``
        
        * Gzip responses in ``paste.gzip``
        
        * A wide variety of routines for manipulating WSGI requests and
        producing responses, in ``paste.request``, ``paste.response`` and
        ``paste.wsgilib``
        
        Debugging Filters
        -----------------
        
        * Catch (optionally email) errors with extended tracebacks (using
        Zope/ZPT conventions) in ``paste.exceptions``
        
        * Catch errors presenting a `cgitb
        <http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-cgitb.html>`_-based
        output, in ``paste.cgitb_catcher``.
        
        * Profile each request and append profiling information to the HTML,
        in ``paste.debug.profile``
        
        * Capture ``print`` output and present it in the browser for
        debugging, in ``paste.debug.prints``
        
        * Validate all HTML output from applications using the `WDG Validator
        <http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/>`_, appending any errors
        or warnings to the page, in ``paste.debug.wdg_validator``
        
        Other Tools
        -----------
        
        * A file monitor to allow restarting the server when files have been
        updated (for automatic restarting when editing code) in
        ``paste.reloader``
        
        * A class for generating and traversing URLs, and creating associated
        HTML code, in ``paste.url``
