+------------------
+
+Sometimes, you want to integrate Gunicorn with your WSGI application. In this
+case, you can inherit from gunicorn.app.base.BaseApplication.
+
+Example::
+
+    #!/usr/bin/env python
+    import gunicorn.app.base
+
+    def my_index(environ, start_response):
+        response_body = 'Works fine'
+        status = '200 OK'
+
+        response_headers = [
+            ('Content-Type', 'text/plain'),
+            ('Content-Length', str(len(response_body)))
+        ]
+
+        start_response(status, response_headers)
+
+        return [response_body]
+
+    class MyApplication(gunicorn.app.base.BaseApplication):
+        def __init__(self, app, options=None):
+            self.options = dict(options or {})
+            self.application = app
+            super(MyApplication, self).__init__()

+            )

+            config = dict(
