How to access the current config in a view handler?

Question

I want to use a config method ('absolute_asset_spec') in a view handler. How do I get the config object to invoke it on?

I've seen talk of a Config() method but where is it defined? Searching for it is, shall we say, problematic :)

Answer 1

Is request.registry.settings what you are looking for?

Pyramid and .ini configuration

Or you were talking about a method. You want to access a method in every request?

def some_method():
   return 'stuff you want'

# in your main function
config.add_request_method(some_method, 'stuff', reify=True)

# in a view
foo = request.stuff
