I am developing locally. Any requests by the application (external links, search engines) have to go through a proxy before they can reach the outside.
When I (eventually) move the application to production, there won't be a proxy so my goal is to somehow setup, like you said, an environment variable (at this point hopefully in one of the .cfg files) so that when the application is started it knows whether it need a proxy (in dev) or not (prod). Thanks for your suggestion about the Python library documentation, I'll do some research. Thanks again! -Bishop On Mar 1, 1:18 pm, Christopher Arndt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Steve schrieb: > > > Working on Turbogears and trying to setup a dev and prod.cfg > > environment so that my dev environment can get outside past a proxy. > > Can I set a proxy server in the dev.cfg file?
