The most straightforward way to execute a view as it would be executed if a real request were to come in is to use the technique described in http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/1.0/narr/testing.html#creating-functional-tests If that seems unreasonable, probably you'll want to modify your requirements. Your view code has the logic you want to execute right now, but if you want to call it programmatically, you should likely factor the bits of it out that need to be called outside of the context of an actual request and just call the refactored function from within your cron-executed script. - C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-devel" group.
