[Zope-dev] Stacking zope.component registries

[Chris McDonough]

Not sure how a new layer setup and teardown is signaled but assuming you can 
hook that, do something like this:

class StackManager(object):
     def __init__(self, default=None):
         self.stack = []
         self.default = default

     def push(self, info):
         self.stack.append(info)

     def pop(self):
         if self.stack:
             return self.stack.pop()

     def get(self):
         try:
             return self.stack[-1]
         except IndexError:
             return self.default()

     def clear(self):
         self.stack[:] = []

from zope.component import getGlobalSiteManager
global_registry = getGlobalSiteManager()

def defaults():
     return {'registry':global_registry}

manager = StackManager(default=defaults)

def get_current_registry(context=None):
     return manager.get()['registry']

from zope.component import getSiteManager
getSiteManager.sethook(get_current_registry)

Then when a layer is pushed:

   from zope.comonent.registry import Components
   manager.push({'registry':Components()})

And popped:

   manager.pop()
