Own stuff on web.ctx "disappearing" after reloading webpage

[Javier Barrio]

Hi,

I've been playing a little bit with the framework .I was trying to separate some stuff when I found something weird. Something that I am sure has an explanation. I did try this:

[main.py]

#!/usr/bin/env python

import web

render = web.template.render('templates/')

web.ctx.render = render

urls = (

        '/',    'core.home.home'

       )

if __name__ == "__main__":

    app = web.application(urls, globals())

    app.run()

[core/home.py]

import web

class home:

    def GET(self):

        i = web.input(name=None)

        return web.ctx.render.home(i.name) # here is the "problem"

[templates/home.html]

$def with (name)

$if name:

    I just wanted to say <em>hello</em> to $name.

$else:  

    <em>Hello</em> World!

The problem I am facing is that, when I launch ./main.py and browse to localhost:8080, the first time it shows up correctly and I can read 'hello world', but if I reload the page, it always shows me this error:

[ERROR on 2nd RELOAD]

127.0.0.1:39690 - - [18/Nov/2012 18:20:47] "HTTP/1.1 GET /" - 500 Internal Server Error

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/code/python/webpy/web/application.py", line 239, in process

    return self.handle()

  File "/code/python/webpy/web/application.py", line 230, in handle

    return self._delegate(fn, self.fvars, args)

  File "/code/python/webpy/web/application.py", line 420, in _delegate

    return handle_class(cls)

  File "/code/python/webpy/web/application.py", line 396, in handle_class

    return tocall(*args)

  File "/code/python/webpy/core/home.py", line 6, in GET

    return web.ctx.render.home(i.name)

AttributeError: 'ThreadedDict' object has no attribute 'render'

It's like if web.ctx was "losing" the 'render'. How is it possible that it works the first time I browse but not the next ones? I'm using 0.37.

Cheers.

web.ctx is thread local context. It is meant for storing stuff that is
local to one request.
