So we never use WSGI directly(in not making a new web-framwork),just need to know that WSGI lay under.
So Flask is an easy and much more powerful that the old CGI way,can be look at as native modern Python way for manipulating form fields and their values.
Now can all Python web-framwork do manipulating form fields,Flask and Django is the most popular.
WSGI's Purpose
Full Stack Python. Wrote:If you're using a standard web-framework such as Django, Flask, or Bottle, or almost any other current Python framework,
you don't need to worry about how frameworks implement the application side of the WSGI standard.
Likewise, if you're using a standard WSGI container such as Green Unicorn, uWSGI, mod_wsgi, or gevent,
you can get them running without worrying about how they implement the WSGI standard
However, knowing the WSGI standard and how these frameworks and containers implement WSGI,
should be on your learning checklist though as you become a more experienced Python web developer.
