A quick question about Python style: nevow.Request is a subclass of twisted.web.server.Request, which is a subclass of http.Request, which has an attribute _disconnected. Since the name begins with an underscore, it isn't intended to be part of the public API, and I think that means I can't refer to it in nevow.Request. There are two options: 1) use notifyFinish() to set a new attribute in nevow.Request, which would end up duplicating _disconnected; 2) use it anyway, and file a request for _disconnected to become part of the published interface. Both approaches work, and I have a unit test to prove it! Which would you like me to do? Peter.
