Python + Win32ALL + ASP = Problems accessing Request/Response/Session/Application objects

Wed Jul 24 12:40:21 EDT 2002

Max,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm really striving to separate as much as possible HTML and code.

I'm working on a framework such that the majority of my pages just have a
small block at the top to import and call python modules that do the
majority of the work.

Also, the framework that I have developed can be used for ASP pages OR for
CGI pages.  Even when used in ASP mode I don't really use much of ASP as I
have my own class that implements Python Server Pages which allows my
framework to be independent of the Web server used.  When in ASP mode, the
only real benfit is that the interpreter is not loaded/unloaded each time.
Other than that, all of the rest of the processing is handled via the
framework.

Currently I either pass in the value of globals() or the individual
Request/Response/Application/Session objects when they are needed but it
would be nice if I could just import the appropriate ASP components to make
those objects available.

I'm sure this must be possible, but I have been unable to fully trace those
objects to their creation.
