Thread: Can someone tell me what this code does ?

I'm fairly new to Python so excuse my naiveté. 

This code: in web/pgadmin/utils/driver/__init__.py  does not appear to load the drivers into the drivers dictionary ? Or am I missing something

def init_app(app):
    drivers = dict()

    setattr(app, '_pgadmin_server_drivers', drivers)
    DriverRegistry.load_drivers()

    return drivers

Hi,

I guess my question was a bit vague. I get that it loads drivers. But note it does not actually put them anywhere.

First it creates a dict

sets the attribute in the app

loads the drivers dynamically

and returns an empty dict.

From what I can tell this:

DriverRegistry.load_drivers()

is all it does?

Hi,

This piece of code allow us to dynamically import all the available driver modules from '../utils/driver/' directory into our application.

So what is the policy of the project? Ideally the cruft should be removed.

Would a patch doing so be committed?

Yes, you are correct, at a moment that's all it does.
