[albatross-users] Getting things *out* of session_vars?

[Michael C. Neel]

You need to add the following line to the second part:

for v in all_vars:
    setarrt(ctx.locals,v, None)
    ctx.add_session_var(v)

I'm not sure where you would get the default value from, but if it needs
to be set to something other than none you'll need to change it.  Also,
make sure this happens in page_enter, not page_process, or you'll wipe
everything each request. Hth.

My code looks like this:

all_vars = [var1, var2, var3]

for v in all_vars:
    if not ctx.req_equals(var) or
       ctx.get_value(var) != 'some good value':
       ctx.locals.error = 'var is set to bad value'

# If you get to here, all validation checks passed
for v in all_vars:
    ctx.add_session_var(v)

Sorry if some of the function names are slightly wrong, I am away from 
the code currently.  But this should be enough to give you an idea.
