nameofproject.wsgi, wsgiapp.py and WebOb

Python uses WSGI to implement a CGI-like behavior. We wrap this in WebOb

In wsgiapp.py:

   from webob.dec import wsgify

In your class within:

   @wsgify
   def __call__(self, request):

request contains the webob request object.

At the end of the file:

 def make_app(global_conf, **app_conf):
   global_conf.update(app_conf)
   app = AdminDbApp(global_conf)
   return app

In nameofproject.wsgi:

 from nameofproject.wsgiapp import make_app
 application = make_app(config_dict)

The application in nameofproject.wsgi is the variable being looked for by the wsgi spec. This wraps up a fully-configured object.
