Just MHO: I don't find them that confusing. Would names like 'GET_data' and 'POST_data' be clearer? Coming from Zope land, I'm not used to caring about the distinction between GET and POST (for purposes of examining the parameters passed in the request), so I'd probably use 'params' instead. > params is usually called query (isn't it?); Depends on what you mean by "usually": in Zope, this is called 'form', and it represents either the parsed query string (for GET requests) or the parsed form data from the payload (for POST requests). > and what's the advantage of using Request.blank() instead > of simply Request()? 'blank' represents an unusual case: fabricating a request object without having a WSGI-compliant environment dict already in hand. I kind of like simplifying the "mainline" case (__init__ doesn't have to sniff whether you passed an environment or not: you get a TypeError if you try). - -- =================================================================== Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHHgHX+gerLs4ltQ4RAgJtAKCR4s2LFi/Nb4aYgF/aLilwa+PvnwCaAxpI BsTZMtcoY+NJpI3EQ/RkBKg= =RQSZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Web-SIG mailing list Web-SIG@python.org Web SIG: http://www.python.org/sigs/web-sig Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/web-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
