Do you really want sessions or real globals? That kind of thing can be a real bottleneck. Here's a real simple example of something you could do if you really wanted to: import web def add_global_hook(): g = web.storage({"counter": 0}) def _wrapper(handler): web.ctx.globals = g return handler() return _wrapper class Hello: def GET(self): web.ctx.globals.counter += 1 return "<h1>Counter: %d</h1>" % web.ctx.globals.counter if __name__ == '__main__': urls = ("/", "Hello") app = web.application(urls, globals()) app.add_processor(add_global_hook()) app.run() Note that it wouldn't work right in situations where requests are handled in different actual processes (mod_python with a forking MPM, forking FastCGI/SCGI handler, etc). Threaded will work fine. -- David Terrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ((meatspace)) http://meat.net/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
