In particular, Peter Hunt recently posted some info to the Web-SIG mailing 
list on a prototype WSGI gateway for Twisted.  If you take that, and 
combine it with Eckart Hertzler's prototype WSGI application for Zope X3 
(zope.app.wsgi), you should be able to take it for a spin.  I believe 
Peter's gateway is multithread-capable, too.

There's also been a prototype mod_python WSGI gateway posted to the Web-SIG 
list, that might be usable with ZEO and Eckart's zope.app.wsgi.

Unfortunately, I haven't the mental bandwidth at the moment to do anything 
with either of these; I hope to maybe take a look at them some time later 
this month if nobody else does.  But I'm definitely available to answer 
questions from anybody who's trying to make something happen with any of 
the above.
