[ckan-dev] what are context and data_dicts?

Thu May 16 02:56:40 UTC 2013

Hello Everyone.

I am writing an extension and I want to use:
result = ckan.logic.get_action('current_package_list_with_resources')()

Or even just on command line (without the recommended use of 'get_action'):
result = ckan.logic.action.get.current_package_list_with_resources()

However this function requires that you pass it 'context' and a 'data_dict' objects. I have no idea what exactly these objects are or how I can generate them and the documentation here http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/ckan.logic.action.get.html#ckan.logic.action.get.current_package_list_with_resources doesn't seem clear enough (to me, anyway).

Would someone please be able to explain what params I should be supplying.

Thanks
George
