In my application, the first path segment represents a specific object. If
the URL is domain.com/alice/context/view/, traversal will put the
alice object into request.
The number of users such as alice will be very small relative to pageviews,
so it seems it would be better to keep the objects loaded in memory rather
than pulling one from the disk for every request. What is the best way to
do this? Python discourages globals, and Pyramid discourages thread locals.
Is one of those the best way, or is there something else I'm unaware of?
You can put a cache in the settings dict, or look into memcached or
Beaker caching. Settings is the appropriate place for application
globals. You can also look at Beaker caching, which has options for
expiration and such.
If you put a SQLAlchemy ORM object into the cache, call
DBSession.expunge() on it first to detach it from the session, Later
if you want to use it to modify the database, you'll have to reattach
it with DBSession.add() or DBSession.merge() -- see the manual for the
difference between the two.
