| 286 | ==== Passing information between main controller & pre-processor ==== |
| 287 | |
| 288 | Scope normally means that these 2 sections can only talk to each other via globals or the Request object. |
| 289 | |
| 290 | If you need to pass data between them, you can use this trick: |
| 291 | {{{ |
| 292 | vars = {} # the surrounding dict |
| 293 | def prep(r, vars): |
| 294 | vars.update(x=y) # the actual variable to pass is x |
| 295 | return True |
| 296 | |
| 297 | response.s3.prep = lambda r, vars=vars: prep(r, vars) |
| 298 | |
| 299 | output = shn_rest_controller(module, resource) |
| 300 | |
| 301 | x = vars.get(x, None) |
| 302 | }}} |
| 303 | |
