"""Registry for handling request-local module globals sanely

Dealing with module globals in a thread-safe way is good if your
application is the sole responder in a thread, however that approach fails
to properly account for various scenarios that occur with WSGI applications
and middleware.

What is actually needed in the case where a module global is desired that
is always set properly depending on the current request, is a stacked
thread-local object. Such an object is popped or pushed during the request
cycle so that it properly represents the object that should be active for
the current request.

To make it easy to deal with such variables, this module provides a special
StackedObjectProxy class which you can instantiate and attach to your
module where you'd like others to access it. The object you'd like this to
actually "be" during the request is then registered with the
RegistryManager middleware, which ensures that for the scope of the current
WSGI application everything will work properly.

Example:

.. code-block:: Python
    
    #yourpackage/__init__.py
    
    from paste.registry import RegistryManager, StackedObjectProxy
    myglobal = StackedObjectProxy()
    
    #wsgi app stack
    app = RegistryManager(yourapp)
    
    #inside your wsgi app
    class yourapp(object):
        def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
            obj = someobject  # The request-local object you want to access
                              # via yourpackage.myglobal
            if environ.has_key('paste.registry'):
                environ['paste.registry'].register(myglobal, obj)

You will then be able to import yourpackage anywhere in your WSGI app or in
the calling stack below it and be assured that it is using the object you
registered with Registry.

RegistryManager can be in the WSGI stack multiple times, each time it
appears it registers a new request context.


Performance
===========

The overhead of the proxy object is very minimal, however if you are using
proxy objects extensively (Thousands of accesses per request or more), there
are some ways to avoid them. A proxy object runs approximately 3-20x slower
than direct access to the object, this is rarely your performance bottleneck
when developing web applications.

Should you be developing a system which may be accessing the proxy object
thousands of times per request, the performance of the proxy will start to
become more noticeable. In that circumstance, the problem can be avoided by
getting at the actual object via the proxy with the ``_current_obj`` function:

.. code-block:: Python
    
    #sessions.py
    Session = StackedObjectProxy()
    # ... initialization code, etc.
    
    # somemodule.py
    import sessions
    
    def somefunc():
        session = sessions.Session._current_obj()
        # ... tons of session access

This way the proxy is used only once to retrieve the object for the current
context and the overhead is minimized while still making it easy to access
the underlying object. The ``_current_obj`` function is preceded by an
underscore to more likely avoid clashing with the contained object's
attributes.

**NOTE:** This is *highly* unlikely to be an issue in the vast majority of
cases, and requires incredibly large amounts of proxy object access before
one should consider the proxy object to be causing slow-downs. This section
is provided solely in the extremely rare case that it is an issue so that a
quick way to work around it is documented.

    An instance of this class tracks all StackedObjectProxy state in existence
    when unexpected exceptions are raised by WSGI applications housed by
    EvalException and RegistryManager. Like EvalException, this information is
    stored for the life of the process.

    When an unexpected exception occurs and EvalException is present in the
    WSGI stack, save_registry_state is intended to be called to store the
    Registry state and enable automatic restoration on all currently registered
    StackedObjectProxies.

    With restoration enabled, those StackedObjectProxies' _current_obj
    (overwritten by _current_obj_restoration) method's strategy is modified:
    it will return its appropriate proxied object from the restorer when
    a restoration context is active in the current thread.

    The StackedObjectProxies' _push/pop_object methods strategies are also
    changed: they no-op when a restoration context is active in the current
    thread (because the pushing/popping work is all handled by the
    Registry/restorer).

    The request's Registry objects' reglists are restored from the restorer
    when a restoration context begins, enabling the Registry methods to work
    while their changes are tracked by the restorer.

    The overhead of enabling restoration is negligible (another threadlocal
    access for the changed StackedObjectProxy methods) for normal use outside
    of a restoration context, but worth mentioning when combined with
    StackedObjectProxies normal overhead. Once enabled it does not turn off,
    however:

    o Enabling restoration only occurs after an unexpected exception is
    detected. The server is likely to be restarted shortly after the exception
    is raised to fix the cause
