Hi there. I'm a relatively long-time Pylons user, starting to work with Pyramid. I like what I see, but am suffering a bit on where to find things.
I'm using traversal and a resource tree in my app (zodb template) and am enjoying this pattern... but I can't seem to find ways to hook onto basic objects like the resource root, the settings, config, etc. I know that these things are attached to the request, but I'm not sure that the best way to go is to pass the request everyplace... if I just want to talk to the database, can I really only do that via a request? Say I have a utility function that needs to peek in the database (zodb again) to find some elementary thing... how can I do that if it's not in a view callable and I don't explicitly pass request around? There must be a way to do this for testing if nothing else (I know that there are fake request objects for testing, but do they have root, etc. also?) OR, how can I grab onto the root, config and other goodies via an import? Maybe that's the question? -- Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
