Does WSGI support asynchronous request handling?

WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) is a synchronous interface between a web server and a Python application. It does not support asynchronous request processing directly.

This means that when using WSGI, the server processes each request sequentially, and Python's asynchronous capabilities (such as asyncio) cannot be used effectively.

For asynchronous request processing in Python, other interfaces exist, such as ASGI (Asynchronous Server Gateway Interface), which is specifically designed to support asynchronous operations and allows handling multiple requests concurrently.

In summary:

• WSGI is synchronous and does not support asynchronous operations.
• For asynchronous applications, ASGI is used.
