request.registry.settings is the place to find app configuration
settings.
I just looked at the pyramid ldap docs, and the 'config' variable
there is a Configurator() instance. I could be wrong, but I don't
think that is the pyramid config registry. it might save things into
it, but I believe it is another instance.
the pyramid ldap docs also note a few things:
- there's a pretty decent API, and the only thing you should really
need to access in your views is 'get_ldap_connector()'.
- you could probably explore the object returned by
get_ldap_connector() to find the variables you want, but the package
seems to be designed for a single setup : 'All three of these methods
should be called once (and, ideally, only once) during the startup
phase of your Pyramid application'

in most cases, you want to create an event subscriber :
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/api/even...
another alternative is to use a class-based approach to writing
views. this is the most pylons-esque approach, where you can use a
single base class that has an init function.
http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/narr/vie...
your code could look like this:
class _BaseView(object):
def __init__(self,request):
self.request = request
# do your shared stuff here
class LoginView(_BaseView):
def login_print(self):
pass
def login_submit(self):
pass
class AccountView(_BaseView):
def account_home(self):
pass
def account_password_change(self):
pass
