Description: About Mobile Middleware
        -------------------------
        
        Mobile Middleware is a middleware for WSGI applications.
        
        Thought to be used on Turbogears 2 applications it detects mobile browser and provides a way
        to detect and react to them. Detection expression can be customized and action can
        change from plain detection to exposing a specific custom template for mobile requests
        
        You will be able to see if your request is coming from a mobile browser with::
        
            from tg import request
            request.is_mobile
        
        Installing
        -------------------------------
        
        tgext.mobilemiddleware can be installed both from pypi or from bitbucket::
        
            easy_install tgext.mobilemiddleware
        
        should just work for most of the users
        
        Enabling Mobile Agents Detection
        ----------------------------------
        
        In your application *config/middleware.py* import **MobileMiddleware**:: 
        
            from tgext.mobilemiddleware import MobileMiddleware
        
        Change your **make_app** method::
        
            app = make_base_app(global_conf, full_stack=True, **app_conf)
            return MobileMiddleware(app, app_conf)
        
        Exposing Mobile Templates
        ----------------------------
        
        **tgext.mobilemiddleware** implements a *@expose_mobile* decorator that works like *@expose*
        TurboGears2 decorator which can be used to specify which template to expose for mobie requests.
        
        This will work by switching the template before rendering the view if the request
        is detected to be from a mobile browser.
        *@expose_mobile* supports the same template naming convention that @expose uses
        and can accept any rendering engine that has been registered in turbogears
        by specifing it as *engine:module.template_name* 
        
        Examples::
        
            @expose('app.templates.index')
            @expose_mobile('app.templates.mobile.index')
            def index(self, *args, **kw):
                return dict()
        
        
        Customizing User Agents Detection
        -----------------------------------
        
        **MobileMiddleware** by default checks user agent with a regular expression
        that can be customized by changing *[app:main]* section of your configuration
        file by adding something like::
        
            mobile.agents = android|fennec|iemobile|iphone|ipod|ipad
