"""`StackContext` allows applications to maintain threadlocal-like state that follows execution as it moves to other execution contexts. The motivating examples are to eliminate the need for explicit ``async_callback`` wrappers (as in `tornado.web.RequestHandler`), and to allow some additional context to be kept for logging. This is slightly magic, but it's an extension of the idea that an exception handler is a kind of stack-local state and when that stack is suspended and resumed in a new context that state needs to be preserved. `StackContext` shifts the burden of restoring that state from each call site (e.g. wrapping each `.AsyncHTTPClient` callback in ``async_callback``) to the mechanisms that transfer control from one context to another (e.g. `.AsyncHTTPClient` itself, `.IOLoop`, thread pools, etc). Example usage:: @contextlib.contextmanager def die_on_error(): try: yield except Exception: logging.error("exception in asynchronous operation",exc_info=True) sys.exit(1) with StackContext(die_on_error): # Any exception thrown here *or in callback and its descendants* # will cause the process to exit instead of spinning endlessly # in the ioloop. http_client.fetch(url, callback) ioloop.start() Most applications shouldn't have to work with `StackContext` directly. Here are a few rules of thumb for when it's necessary: * If you're writing an asynchronous library that doesn't rely on a stack_context-aware library like `tornado.ioloop` or `tornado.iostream` (for example, if you're writing a thread pool), use `.stack_context.wrap()` before any asynchronous operations to capture the stack context from where the operation was started. * If you're writing an asynchronous library that has some shared resources (such as a connection pool), create those shared resources within a ``with stack_context.NullContext():`` block. This will prevent ``StackContexts`` from leaking from one request to another. * If you want to write something like an exception handler that will persist across asynchronous calls, create a new `StackContext` (or `ExceptionStackContext`), and make your asynchronous calls in a ``with`` block that references your `StackContext`. .. deprecated:: 5.1 The ``stack_context`` package is deprecated and will be removed in Tornado 6.0.
