I noticed 'zope.globalrequest' on the PyPI RSS feed today and wonder about it. IMHO this implements an anti-pattern in an official way without a warning that this needs to be handled with care.
The discussion for this happened on the plone-dev mailing list. The reasoning for the functionality is to provide a clean way to get to the request, without relying on Acquisition. Storing the request in a thread local is similar to the way other web-frameworks handle this.
Then let's just mention its intended use in Zope 2/Plone in the documentation and go on with life. Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter Web Software Design, Development and Training Google me. "Zope Stephan Richter"
