Hey, so to follow up ... I wrote my own that seems to do the trick, my
little project here is called Tycho, so the Tycho.globals.Config
contains the stuff mentioned in my previous email:
############# ContextProcessors.py #############
# all Tycho context processors:
import Tycho.globals.Config
import types, copy
def config(request):
# convert Config and it's subclasses to nested dicts:
configs_dict = { }
filternames = (dir(__builtins__), '__module__', '__file__')
def isconfig(e):
if isinstance(e, types.IntType) or \
isinstance(e, types.LongType) or \
isinstance(e, types.FloatType) or \
isinstance(e, types.StringType):
return True
return False
def convert(e):
edict = { }
for n in filter( lambda x: x not in filternames, dir(e) ):
if isinstance(getattr(e, n), types.ClassType):
edict[n] = convert( getattr(e, n) )
elif isconfig(getattr(e, n)) and \
n not in filternames:
edict[n] = copy.copy(getattr(e, n))
return edict
return convert(Tycho.globals.Config)
if __name__ == '__main__':
# simple dispatch:
print str( config(None) )

... seems to do the trick.
