        Introduction
        ------------
        
        Pesto is a library for Python web applications. It aims to make writing WSGI
        web applications easy and fun. Pesto doesn't constrain you ? how you integrate
        with databases, what templating system you use or how you prefer to lay out
        your source files is up to you. Above all, pesto is small, well documented and
        well tested.
        
        Pesto makes it easy to:
        
        - Map any URI to any part of your application.
        - Produce unicode aware, standards compliant WSGI applications.
        - Easily interogate WSGI request parameters ? form variables and HTTP request headers.
        - Create and manipulate HTTP headers, redirects, cookies etc.
        - Integrate with any other WSGI application or middleware, giving you
        access to a vast and growing resource.

        Examples
        ---------
        
        A simple script to run in a CGI environment::
        
        #!/usr/bin/env python
        
        import pesto
        from pesto import Response
        
        def handler(request):
        return Response([
        "<html>",
        "<body><h1>Whoa Nelly!</h1></body>",
        "</html>",
        ])
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
        app = pesto.to_wsgi(handler)
        pesto.run_with_cgi(app)
        
        A longer example which uses the ``urldispatcher`` mechanism to map URLs to
        handlers, running through Python's wsgiref server::
        
        #!/usr/bin/env python
        
        import pesto
        from pesto import Response
        dispatcher = pesto.urldispatcher()
        
        recipes = {
        'baked-beans' : "Open a tin of baked beans. Put into a saucepan, heat and serve.",
        'toast'       : "Put a slice of bread under a grill for 2-3 minutes, turning once. Serve.",
        }
        
        @dispatcher.match('/', 'GET')
        def recipe_index(request):
        """
        Display an index of available recipes.
        """
        markup = ['<html><body><h1>List of recipes</h1><ul>']
        for recipe in recipes:
        markup.append(
        '<li><a href="%s">%s</a></li>' % (
        show_recipe.url(recipe=recipe),
        recipe
        )
        )
        markup.append('</ul></body></html>')
        return Response(markup)
        
        @dispatcher.match('/recipes/<recipe:unicode>', 'GET')
        def show_recipe(request, response, recipe):
        """
        Display a single recipe
        """
        return Response([
        '<html><body><h1>How to make %s</h1>' % recipe,
        '<p>%s</p><a href="%s">Back to index</a>' % (recipes[recipe], recipe_index.url()),
        '</body></html>'
        ])
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
        from wsgiref import simple_server
        httpd = simple_server.make_server('', 8080, dispatcher)
        httpd.serve_forever()
