Overriding __init__() from webapp2.RequestHandler

[daniloz]

Hi All,

I'm trying to override the constructor from webapp2.RequestHandler in order to do an automatic list of pages on my webapp. But it's not working.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

class BaseHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):

    def __init__(self, request, response, **kwargs):

        self.initialize(request, response)

        logging.info(kwargs)

        self.pageName = kwargs['pageName']

class ChildPage(BaseHandler):

[...]

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', ChildPage (None,None, dict(pageName='Root Page'))),

But when the page loads, I got the following error:

ERROR    2012-05-01 10:20:31,911 webapp2.py:1553] ' ChildPage ' object is not callable

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\lib\webapp2\webapp2.py", line 1536, in __call__

    rv = self.handle_exception(request, response, e)

  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\lib\webapp2\webapp2.py", line 1530, in __call__

    rv = self.router.dispatch(request, response)

  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\lib\webapp2\webapp2.py", line 1278, in default_dispatcher

    return route.handler_adapter(request, response)

  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\lib\webapp2\webapp2.py", line 1065, in __call__

    return self.handler(request, *args, **kwargs)

TypeError: ' ChildPage ' object is not callable

I suspect it's related with the None's I pass to the constructor. 

Any ideas how to skip this or any other way to achieve what I want??

Thanks,

I think you should call parent's __init__
