repoze.bfg 0.8.1 was just released (to the
http://dist.repoze.org/bfg/current/simple index) with the following features:
- Class objects may now be used as view callables (both via ZCML and
via use of the ``bfg_view`` decorator in Python 2.6 as a class
decorator). The calling semantics when using a class as a view
callable is similar to that of using a class as a Zope "browser
view": the class' ``__init__`` must accept two positional parameters
(conventionally named ``context``, and ``request``). The resulting
instance must be callable (it must have a ``__call__`` method).
When called, the instance should return a response. For example::
from webob import Response
class MyView(object):
def __init__(self, context, request):
self.context = context
self.request = request
def __call__(self):
return Response('hello from %s!' % self.context)
See the "Views" chapter in the documentation and the
``repoze.bfg.view`` API documentation for more information.
- Removed the pickling of ZCML actions (the code that wrote
``configure.zcml.cache`` next to ``configure.zcml`` files in
projects). The code which managed writing and reading of the cache
file was a source of subtle bugs when users switched between
imperative (e.g. `...@bfg_view``) registrations and declarative
registrations (e.g. the ``view`` directive in ZCML) on the same
project. On a moderately-sized project (535 ZCML actions and 15 ZCML
files), executing actions read from the pickle was saving us only
about 200ms (2.5 sec vs 2.7 sec average). On very small projects (1
ZCML file and 4 actions), startup time was comparable, and sometimes
even slower when reading from the pickle, and both ways were so fast
that it really just didn't matter anyway.
