# Keystone Team Update - Week of 14 May 2018

## News

### WSGI

Morgan has been working on converting keystone's core application to use Flask[1], which will help us to stop using paste.deploy and simplify our WSGI middleware and routing. While we're reworking our WSGI application framework, we also need to be thinking about how we can implement the mutable configuration community goal[2] which relies on having a SIGHUP handler in the service application that can talk to oslo.config, which is a feature that is part of oslo.service which we're not using.

### Sphinx issues

This week we started seeing mysterious issues with the API docs builder in the docs jobs for keystoneauth[3][4]. They seemed to start sometime after the upper-constraint for Sphinx was bumped to 1.7.4[5] and seemed to go away when the constraint was reverted[6], but we haven't fully confirmed that correlation yet. If you have some free time and like puzzles please feel free to dive in.
