Python Paste brings consistency to Python web development and web application installation, providing tools for both developers and system administrators.
Paste has passed version 1.0. Paste is an actively maintained project. As of 1.0 (and actually before) we'll make a strong effort to maintain backward compatibility. This will include deprecation warnings when necessary. Major changes will take place under new functions or with new entry points.
Using Paste does not exclude the use of other WSGI libraries and components. There's really no advantage to putting new development or major rewrites in Paste, as opposed to putting them in new packages. Because of this it is planned that major new development will happen outside of Paste. This makes Paste a very stable and conservative piece of infrastructure for building on. This is the intention.
