From d868fff7597c5a05acd1f5c024fc45dde9880413 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris McDonough Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2011 06:17:00 -0400 Subject: - Remove IResponder abstraction in favor of more general IResponse abstraction. - It is now possible to return an arbitrary object from a Pyramid view callable even if a renderer is not used, as long as a suitable adapter to ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` is registered for the type of the returned object. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The Pyramid router now, by default, expects response objects returned from view callables to implement the ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface. Unlike the Pyramid 1.0 version of this interface, objects which implement IResponse now must define a ``__call__`` method that accepts ``environ`` and ``start_response``, and which returns an ``app_iter`` iterable, among other things. Previously, it was possible to return any object which had the three WebOb ``app_iter``, ``headerlist``, and ``status`` attributes as a response, so this is a backwards incompatibility. It is possible to get backwards compatibility back by registering an adapter to IResponse from the type of object you're now returning from view callables. See the section in the Hooks chapter of the documentation entitled "Changing How Pyramid Treats View Responses". - The ``pyramid.interfaces.IResponse`` interface is now much more extensive. Previously it defined only ``app_iter``, ``status`` and ``headerlist``; now it is basically intended to directly mirror the ``webob.Response`` API, which has many methods and attributes. - Documentation changes to support above. --- docs/glossary.rst | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) (limited to 'docs/glossary.rst') diff --git a/docs/glossary.rst b/docs/glossary.rst index 079a069b4..d3ba9a545 100644 --- a/docs/glossary.rst +++ b/docs/glossary.rst @@ -16,12 +16,12 @@ Glossary positional argument, returns a ``WebOb`` compatible request. response - An object that has three attributes: ``app_iter`` (representing an - iterable body), ``headerlist`` (representing the http headers sent - to the user agent), and ``status`` (representing the http status - string sent to the user agent).
