> I got the impression that most core developers used Unix-variants for their development, and likely most CGI users as well, and that Windows use of CGI just wasn't a priority for anyone in the core team.
Core devs are volunteers who are free to pick what they like the most. There are few core devs who use Python on Windows, whereas they are many Python users on Windows.
If you are able to split your enhancements as small PRs, I may be able to have a look. We do run our test suite on Windows. If each enhancement has a related test valided on Windows, it's ok.

the only (as far as I know) universal service available on pretty much
all web server implementations.
The other question is not if CGI is useful or not, but if it should be maintained inside the stdlib, or on PyPI. Well, it's not exclusive :-) It's possible to have a more complete implementation on PyPI under a different name. |
