Functions

f abort(*args, **kargs) ...

The abort function has moved to pylons.controllers.util, please update your import statements to reflect the move

Aborts the request immediately by returning an HTTP exception

In the event that the status_code is a 300 series error, the detail attribute will be used as the Location header should one not be specified in the headers attribute.

f etag_cache(*args, **kargs) ...

The etag_cache function has moved to pylons.controllers.util, please update your import statements to reflect the move

Use the HTTP Entity Tag cache for Browser side caching

If a "If-None-Match" header is found, and equivilant to key, then a 304 HTTP message will be returned with the ETag to tell the browser that it should use its current cache of the page.

Otherwise, the ETag header will be added to the response headers.

Suggested use is within a Controller Action like so:

1
2
3
4
5
6
import pylons

class YourController(BaseController):
    def index(self):
        etag_cache(key=1)
        return render('/splash.mako')

Note

This works because etag_cache will raise an HTTPNotModified exception if the ETag recieved matches the key provided.

f log(msg) ...

Deprecated: Use the logging module instead.

Log a message to the output log.

f redirect_to(*args, **kargs) ...

The redirect_to function has moved to pylons.controllers.util, please update your import statements to reflect the move

Raises a redirect exception

Optionally, a _code variable may be passed with the status code of the redirect, ie:

1
redirect_to('home_page', _code=303)

Deprecated A Response object can be passed in as _response which will have the headers and cookies extracted from it and added into the redirect issued.

See the source for more information.
