Calling get_current_registry() during Pyramid startup

[Andreas Jung]

I have a method

def notify(text):
settings = pyramid.threadlocal.get_current_registry().settings
host = settings.get(....)

which works fine when called from a view.

However when I call this method during the startup phase
from the main() method of my app then 'settings' evaluates to None.

I have seen that my code is working also during the startup phase
with Kotti but not within a bare Pyramid application...any trick
I am missing?

Within main() you usually have a config object that has a get_settings()
method.

You should almost never use pyramid.threadlocal.get_current_registry()
in application code if there's another way to get the registry (such as
e.g. request.registry in a view).

Also see http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/latest/api/threadlocal.html#pyramid.threadlocal.get_current_registry.


HTH,

Could this be implemented withinin an event ? There is an
ApplicationCreated event http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/en/1.3-branch/api/events.html

You probably don't want to use thread locals for this. Can you just pass the relevant settings to the function?

If you really want to use thread locals, you could push the config's registry onto the thread local stack in main() before you call notify().
