In the connectical-overlay, nginx ebuilds adding a USE="python" which builds the wsgi module are available. http://code.connectical.com/overlay http://code.connectical.com/overlay/browser/contrib/www-servers/nginx/nginx-0.7.7-r1.ebuild nginx has a compile-time module API, so I thought additional USE options for the mature and useful modules might be appropriate for portage mainline. The connectical maintainer is very quick to update upon new nginx development releases, and so perhaps would be willing to do these updates directly in portage. If other applications are going to offer wsgi support or configuration targets, perhaps it would be forward-looking to switch to a USE="wsgi" spelling instead. Thanks. Reproducible: Always

At this time I don't want to increase the maintenance load by pulling in more stuff from outside the distribution, so closing as WONTFIX.
