-These provide several pieces of "middleware" (or filters) that can be nested to build web applications.  Each
-piece of middleware uses the WSGI (`PEP 333`_) interface, and should
-be compatible with other middleware based on those interfaces.
-
-.. _PEP 333: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333.html
-
-Includes these features...
-
-Testing
--------
-
-* A fixture for testing WSGI applications conveniently and in-process,
-  in ``paste.fixture``
-
-* A fixture for testing command-line applications, also in
-  ``paste.fixture``
-
-* Check components for WSGI-compliance in ``paste.lint``
-
-Dispatching
------------
-
-* Chain and cascade WSGI applications (returning the first non-error
-  response) in ``paste.cascade``
-
-* Dispatch to several WSGI applications based on URL prefixes, in
-  ``paste.urlmap``
-
-* Allow applications to make subrequests and forward requests
-  internally, in ``paste.recursive``
-
-Web Application
----------------
-
-* Run CGI programs as WSGI applications in ``paste.cgiapp``
-
-* Traverse files and load WSGI applications from ``.py`` files (or
-  static files), in ``paste.urlparser``
-
-* Serve static directories of files, also in ``paste.urlparser``; also
-  in that module serving from Egg resources using ``pkg_resources``.
-
-Tools
------
-
-* Catch HTTP-related exceptions (e.g., ``HTTPNotFound``) and turn them
-  into proper responses in ``paste.httpexceptions``
-
-* Several authentication techniques, including HTTP (Basic and
-  Digest), signed cookies, and CAS single-signon, in the
-  ``paste.auth`` package.
-
-* Create sessions in ``paste.session`` and ``paste.flup_session``
-
-* Gzip responses in ``paste.gzip``
-
-* A wide variety of routines for manipulating WSGI requests and
-  producing responses, in ``paste.request``, ``paste.response`` and
-  ``paste.wsgilib``
-
-Debugging Filters
------------------
-
-* Catch (optionally email) errors with extended tracebacks (using
-  Zope/ZPT conventions) in ``paste.exceptions``
-
-* Catch errors presenting a `cgitb
-  <http://docs.python.org/2/library/cgitb.html>`_-based
-  output, in ``paste.cgitb_catcher``.
-
-* Profile each request and append profiling information to the HTML,
-  in ``paste.debug.profile``
-
-* Capture ``print`` output and present it in the browser for
-  debugging, in ``paste.debug.prints``
-
-* Validate all HTML output from applications using the `WDG Validator
-  <http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/>`_, appending any errors
-  or warnings to the page, in ``paste.debug.wdg_validator``
-
-Other Tools
------------
-
-* A file monitor to allow restarting the server when files have been
-  updated (for automatic restarting when editing code) in
-  ``paste.reloader``
-
-* A class for generating and traversing URLs, and creating associated
-  HTML code, in ``paste.url``
