Yes, that's exactly it. You would write Pyblosxom as a WSGI
"application" (a class or function), and it would automatically run on
any WSGI server -- Twisted, mod_python, CGI, whatever -- without
modifications.

For example, you would define a class 'PyblosxomWSGI' implementing the
application spec, and to run it as a CGI all that would be necessary is:

   # from http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0333.html
   from cgi_wsgi import run_with_cgi

   from Pyblosxom import PyblosxomWSGI

   run_with_cgi(PyblosxomWSGI(datadir))

Something along these lines. Or you could download the Twisted server
(http://st0rm.hopto.org:8080/wsgi/) and run it like this:

   from twisted_wsgi import serve_application
   serve_application(PyblosxomWSGI(datadir), port=8080)

I would love to help with WSGI, but I'm currently finishing my PhD
thesis and I have no free time.  :(
