Hi All,
I think it would be generally usefull to keep a stack of traversed
objects. I currently need it in my application breadcrumb / navigation
generation.
I'm not speaking of a list of individual path elements but the actual
objects that were traversed.
Adding this functionality would be rather trivial (and I've already
implemented in my local TG), TG is already monkeypatching CP's
getObjFromPath (in startup.py), which does the basic traversing,
the following diff (against 0.8a5) implements this functionality.
If not accepted, I'll probably be monkeypatching CP or TG myself but
I'd rather avoid that :)

--- startup-new.py 2006-01-16 01:15:14.000000000 +0100

wp = webpath
root = cherrypy

cherrypy.request.approot = "/" + wp
for i in range(0, len(objPathList)):
# maps virtual filenames to Python identifiers (substitutes
'.' for '_')

cherrypy.request.approot = "/" + wp +
"/".join(objPathList[1:i+1]) if root is None:
return None

return root
