flask.g and flask.request are thread local storage?












0















My understanding is that flask.g object or flask.request are the thread local storage.
However when I execute the following code, it shows the id of flask.g (and flask.request) is always same value in each threads:



from flask import Flask, request, g
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
print("g id: %d" % id(g))
print("request id: %d" % id(request))
return "Hello world"

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()


result (access three times with several browsers):



g id: 140219657264584
request id: 140219657262640
g id: 140219657264584
request id: 140219657262640
g id: 140219657264584
request id: 140219657262640


My understanding iswrong?

  • By default, flask only use one thread, so every request you sent are hitting that same one thread. Now if you add a background thread things will be different (also please refer to that question's related question on the sidebar).

  • They are proxy objects for convenient access to thread-local variables.

I think g and request is the variable object.So the id will always equal.



When in g to set data



g = {}
g[current thread id] = your data


When in g to get data



g[current thread id]


So flask.g and flask.request are thread local storage

  • the g point is not to be changed, so id(g) is equivalent

  • Thank you for your answer. I understand g is global variable itself. However I can put stuff in it and can get back later from the one in a thread-safe. The following doc says that: http://werkzeug.pocoo.org/docs/0.14/local/
