Summary

Werkzeug

=======

Werkzeug started as simple collection of various utilities for WSGI

applications and has become one of the most advanced WSGI utility

modules. It includes a powerful debugger, full featured request and

response objects, HTTP utilities to handle entity tags, cache control

headers, HTTP dates, cookie handling, file uploads, a powerful URL

routing system and a bunch of community contributed addon modules.

Werkzeug is unicode aware and doesn't enforce a specific template

engine, database adapter or anything else. It doesn't even enforce

a specific way of handling requests and leaves all that up to the

developer. It's most useful for end user applications which should work

on as many server environments as possible (such as blogs, wikis,

bulletin boards, etc.).

Update to 0.12.2 which also fixes CVE-2016-10516
