Jonathan, Thanks for your reply. It helps me to mitigate my concerns on how to use the request. Especially yours and Pauls pointer to @reify is of great value. I must admit that I wasn't aware of this. What a pitty after working so long with pyramid :/
Thanks to your answers, I am now equipped with new options to solve problems! Am Freitag, 29.
