Re: [pylons-discuss] Request attributes vs request environment

[Michael Merickel]

Webob "request" objects are semi-ephemeral in the context of WSGI. Pyramid 
creates one while processing, and if you're using pyramid_retry then it'll make 
a new one for each attempt. The "environ", however, is one-per WSGI request and 
state you put in there will survive for the entire WSGI lifecycle and can be 
shared with middleware etc that is not Pyramid.

The recommendation is to almost always store data on the request unless you 
have a really good reason not to.

[pylons-discuss] Re: Request attributes vs request environment

['Jonathan Vanasco' via pylons-discuss]

I don't know about "correct", but I use `add_request_method` to attach a 
custom object(s) with `reify=True,` and then store all the information in 
those objects.  IIRC, the narrative documentation and tutorials use it for 
similar purposes.

[pylons-discuss] Request attributes vs request environment

[Thierry Florac]

Hi,
When we have to store custom information about current request, we can use
it's properties, attributes or environment (or even annotations).
What is the correct usage of each of them, and is there any benefit of
using one of them against the others?

Best regards,
Thierry
