Question

I am doing a really simple API to test respire a SPORE client generation for python.

In WSGI, what would be the best way to keep data throught the server?

I try to make a RedisDict that way:

import json
from redis import Redis
redis = Redis()

class RedisDict:
    """A redis based dict."""

    def dict(self):
        TODOS = redis.get('TODOS')
        return json.loads(TODOS)

    def keys(self):
        return self.dict().keys()

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return self.dict()[key]

    def __setitem__(self, key, value):
        obj = self.dict()
        obj[key] = value
        redis.set('TODOS', json.dumps(obj))

    def __delitem__(self, key):
        obj = self.dict()
        del obj[key]
        redis.set('TODOS', json.dumps(obj))

todos = RedisDict()

How can I make dict(todos) to return a dict?
Is that enough in a WSGI environment ?

Answer 1

Assuming that method dict returns a dictionary, why not just do this:

dict_i_wanted = todos.dict()

If you must support dict_i_wanted = dict(todos) then add this method:

def __iter__(self):
    return self.dict().iteritems()
