+Adding Methods or Properties to Request Object
+----------------------------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 1.4.
+
+Since each Pyramid application can only have one :term:`request` factory,
+:ref:`changing the request factory <changing_the_request_factory>`
+is not that extensible, especially if you want to build composable features
+(e.g., Pyramid add-ons and plugins).
+
+A lazy property can be registered to the request object via the
+:meth:`pyramid.config.Configurator.add_request_method` API. This allows you
+to specify a callable that will be available on the request object, but will not
+actually execute the function until accessed.
+
+.. warning:: This will silently override methods and properties from
+ :term:`request factory` that have the same name.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ from pyramid.config import Configurator
+
+ def total(request, *args):
+ return sum(args)
+
+ def prop(request):
+ print "getting the property"
+ return "the property"
+
+ config = Configurator()
+ config.add_request_method(total)
+ config.add_request_method(prop, reify=True)
+
+In the above example, ``total`` is added as a method. However, ``prop`` is added
+as a property and its result is cached per-request by setting ``reify=True``.
+This way, we eliminate the overhead of running the function multiple times.
+
+ >>> request.total(1, 2, 3)
+ 6
+ >>> request.prop
+ getting the property
+ the property
+ >>> request.prop
+ the property
+
+To not cache the result of ``request.prop``, set ``property=True`` instead of
+``reify=True``.
+
+Here is an example of passing a class to ``Configurator.add_request_method``:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+ :linenos:
+
+ from pyramid.config import Configurator
+ from pyramid.decorator import reify
+
+ class ExtraStuff(object):
+
+ def __init__(self, request):
+ self.request = request
+
+ def total(self, *args):
+ return sum(args)
+
+ # use @property if you don't want to cache the result
+ @reify
+ def prop(self):
+ print "getting the property"
+ return "the property"
+
+ config = Configurator()
+ config.add_request_method(ExtraStuff, 'extra', reify=True)
+
+We attach and cache an object named ``extra`` to the ``request`` object.
+
+ >>> request.extra.total(1, 2, 3)
+ 6
+ >>> request.extra.prop
+ getting the property
