How can I redirect after POST in Pyramid?

Question

I\'m trying to have my form submit to a route which will validate the data then redirect back to the original route.

For example:

• User loads the page websi

Assuming your homepage is the default view of your pyramid web app, you can do:

def _get_link_form(post_data):
    """ Returns the initialised form object """

    return LinkForm(post_data)

def home_page(request):

    form = _get_link_form(request.POST)
    return {'form' : form}

def save_post(request):   
    form = _get_link_form(request.POST)

    if not form.validate():
        from pyramid.httpexceptions import HTTPFound
        return HTTPFound(location=request.application_url)

Basically you need to know how the home_page view was "added" to your Configurator. If your homepage actually lives at /few/levels/deep/homepage then a redirect might look like this:

        return HTTPFound(location=request.application_url + '/few/levels/deep/homepage')
