There's a "call_on_startup" list, where you can put a function which
should be called once at startup (as far as I can see).
I use it to load plugins in my blog software, gibe:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
def on_startup():
for plugin_mod in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points("gibe.plugins"):
mod = plugin_mod.load()
...
p = mod()
...
plugins[plugin_name] = p
from turbogears.startup import call_on_startup
call_on_startup.append(on_startup)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope that works for you.
Cheers,
Neil
