Despite searching the docs, this list, the stack(overflow|exchange) and the googles I cannot find a satisfying explanation for Flask's pseudo-globals, despite plenty of remarks and general wisdom that globals and thread-locals are smelly.
All the docs have to say is: ''' Flask wants to make it quick and easy to write a traditional web application. '''' I remember once seeing something vague about making it easier to use libraries, but without any supporting evidence. What are thespecific, concrete reasons Flask chose this (magic, implicit) design over explicitness? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pocoo-libs" group.
