wsgiref.headers.Headers will let you manage a collection of HTTP
response headers, but the constructor forces you to provide a list:

  >>> from wsgiref.headers import Headers
  >>> headers = Headers([])
  >>> headers.add_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')

A logical change would be to allowed creating an empty Headers instance:

  >>> from wsgiref.headers import Headers
  >>> headers = Headers()
  >>> headers.add_header('Content-Type', 'text/plain')

Patch attached.  While I was at it, I also removed stupid whitespace and 
generally made the module more PEP8-compliant.

I have added another issue for PEP 8 compliancy at #5801
