Can I pass dictionary in HttpRedirection or HttpFound in webob in python?

Question

I am trying to pass a dictionary to HttpRedirect or HttpFound method so that I can use this dictionary at the redirected url.

I am using route module for url connect and using cherrypy and webob for Https.

I want to do like this return HttpRedirect(location=location, mydict)

where HttpRedirect extends HttpFound of webob

Answer 1

you have (at least) two ways

1. HttpRedirect(mydict, location=location) or HttpRedirect(httpdict=mydict, location=location): explicitly pass the dictionary as positional argument or keyword argument and then access the dictionary
2. use a more abstract and flexible approach implementing something like this HttpRedirect(location=location, **kargs) and then passing mydict doing HttpRedirect(location=location, **mydic).
