According to the docs on the generic class based views<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/class-based-views/#view> :
> Each request served by a > View<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/class-based-views/#django.views.generic.base.View> > has > an independent state; therefore, it is safe to store state variables on the > instance (i.e., self.foo = 3 is a thread-safe operation). > and > Any argument passed into as_view() will be assigned onto the instance > that is used to service a request. but then right after that, it says: > Arguments passed to a view are shared between every instance of a view. > This means that you shoudn't use a list, dictionary, or any other variable > object as an argument to a view. If you did, the actions of one user > visiting your view could have an effect on subsequent users visiting the > same view. > > I'm confused then. Under what conditions do arguments passed to ClassView.as_view() become bound to that instance vs when do tehy get bound to the class as a whole (between requests)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
