Broken webapp2 about webapp-improved HOT 4 CLOSED

This is not documented, but webapp2 doesn't include a config object by default.

You must do:

import webapp2
from webapp2_extras import config as extras_config

app_config = {}
app_config['webapp2_extras.sessions'] = {
    'secret_key': 'some-secret-key',
}

app = webapp2.WSGIAppplication([...routes...])
app.config = extras_config.Config(app_config)

I'm sorry for the trouble, and I'll add a page to the docs explaining how to 
make the config used by some of the extras modules available.

This issue was closed by revision 76b7b45014a2.

As a side note, you must leave the application object outside of main():

application = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/', 'main.MainHandler')],
                                     debug=True)

def main():
    util.run_wsgi_app(application)

This way the app is created once and not on every request.

After this issue, I decided to add a simple configuration object to the WSGI 
app, which now can be initialized with a config dictionary:

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication(routes, debug=True, config={})

A full explanation and example are here:

http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/guide/extras.html

The error "'WSGIApplication' object has no attribute 'config'" will no longer 
occur, as a separate config doesn't need to be set. The sessions module, 
however, requires a secret_key to be set.

Thanks for the feedback. :)
