# Including WSGI - Flask, Django, others

You can mount WSGI applications as you saw with [Sub Applications - Mounts](sub-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, [Behind a Proxy](behind-a-proxy.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

For that, you can use the `WSGIMiddleware` and use it to wrap your WSGI application, for example, Flask, Django, etc.

## Using `WSGIMiddleware`

You need to import `WSGIMiddleware`.

When deploying applications you will probably want to have some **replication of processes** to take advantage of **multiple cores** and to be able to handle more requests.

As you saw in the previous chapter about [Deployment Concepts](concepts.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, there are multiple strategies you can use.

                : new NonTerminalImmutableMapEntry<K, V>(key, value, keyBucketHead);
        table[tableIndex] = effectiveEntry;
      } else {
        // We already saw this key, and the first value we saw (going backwards) is the one we are
        // keeping. So we won't touch table[], but we do still want to add the existing entry that

The `app_name` would be `"ChimichangApp"`.

And the `items_per_user` would keep its default value of `50`.

## Settings in another module

You could put those settings in another module file as you saw in [Bigger Applications - Multiple Files](../tutorial/bigger-applications.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

For example, you could have a file `config.py` with:

```Python
{!../../docs_src/settings/app01/config.py!}

		// Not finished and update for metacacheMaxRunningAge, discard it.
		return false
	case cache.finished() && time.Since(cache.lastHandout) > 5*metacacheMaxClientWait:
		// Keep for 15 minutes after we last saw the client.
		// Since the cache is finished keeping it a bit longer doesn't hurt us.
		return false
	case cache.status == scanStateError || cache.status == scanStateNone:
		// Remove failed listings after 5 minutes.

**FastAPI** uses them internally to achieve this.

## Dependencies with `yield` and `HTTPException`

You saw that you can use dependencies with `yield` and have `try` blocks that catch exceptions.

The same way, you could raise an `HTTPException` or similar in the exit code, after the `yield`.

/// tip

* `alias`
* `title`
* `description`
* `deprecated`

Validations specific for strings:

* `min_length`
* `max_length`
* `pattern`

In these examples you saw how to declare validations for `str` values.

    }
    cache.invalidateAll();
    tasksFinished.await();

    // Check all of the removal notifications we received: they should have had correctly-associated
    // keys and values. (An earlier bug saw removal notifications for in-progress computations,
    // which had real keys with null values.)
    Map<String, String> removalNotifications = Maps.newHashMap();

<img src="/img/python-types/image04.png">

Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial004.py hl[2] *}

## Declaring types

You just saw the main place to declare type hints. As function parameters.

This is also the main place you would use them with **FastAPI**.

### Simple types

You can declare all the standard Python types, not only `str`.

## Security - HTTPS

In the [previous chapter about HTTPS](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank} we learned about how HTTPS provides encryption for your API.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.
