Thanks for the info. I'm following up on the idea of using request.subpath, but at what point does this property get created? This is my understanding of the call stack:
1. the RootFactory is called, with the request object as a parameter 2. the RootFactory returns the root resource 3. Pyramid recursively calls the __getitem__ method on the resource until it runs out of parts or a resource returns a KeyError 4. ... 5. a view gets called with the request and context How do I access the request object from within the __getitem__ method of my resources? If I'm to dynamically return resource objects based on the subpath, then I need to somehow access the request object at that point Currently I'm storing the request object I got in step 1 it inside my RootFactory root_factory.request = request and every resource object is constructed with Resource.__name__ Resource.__parent__ Resource.root_factory = root_factory Which allows me to access the request object from inside the __getitem__ method, but I get an attribute error that request.subpath doesn't exist. Does it only get created later? I'm guessing that for the archive object to be the valid context and a view to be called, it should raise a KeyError during traversal, but if I do this, I just get a 404 error without getting a view called that would be able to access the request.subpath property. Sorry if I'm creating more confusion on the subject. oO On Jan 30, 6:04 am, Wade Leftwich <wleftw...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you want to stick with Traversal, don't forget that you have > request.subpath available to you.
