'data' directory

[Jonathan Vanasco]

this is puzzling me...

under my previous Pylons + Paster experience, the 'data' directory
( where sessions, templates, dogpile, etc ) would always happen within
the module

as i've moved to Pyramid and uwsgi , this seems to occur not there --
but in whatever directory i spawned the uwsgi server from

can anyone point me in a direction that will let me force/consolidate
the data directory to my choosing ?

[Michael Merickel]

It's typically relative to the CWD unless you specify an absolute path
like data_dir=%(here)s/data which was pretty common. In production I
certain would put a real absolute path to a directory with
write-access by the web server.

thanks!

is there a guide to what %(here) and other variables are available on
the ini ?

[Chris Rossi]

I think that's the only one. You can use variables you define in the ini:

foo = bar
some_setting = %(foo)s stool

Well %(here)s is the only special one. Other than that you can specify
anything and then fill it in at the command line (e.g. %(http_port)s
-> pserve foo.ini http_port=5000). This is old PasteScript
functionality that was ported to pserve. You can also reference other
settings you've defined in the file in a similar fashion.

is this 'here' dir available in the request.settings ? didn't see it
in there, and it seems like it would be useful.

[Michael Merickel]

global_config['here'] and global_config['__file__'] exist when
PasteDeploy invokes your app's entry point (def main(global_config,
**settings) usually).

resurrecting this back from the dead...

would anyone know how to access the 'here' off a request object ?  is it possible?  If not, would someone know how/where to patch the settings to support this?

looking through the source, I only see 'here' value being set during logging setup.

In Pylons it's in the global config, not the app config. Maybe Pyramid is the same?
