plugins append all instance variables to response...

[drevicko]

This seems like a good idea at first, but we just built a plugin that has a vocabulary as an instance variable - you can imagine how big the response is!

Two ideas:

• provide a different mechanism for populating the 'analysis' part of the response
• provide guidelines on where/how to store instance/class variables in the docs

For now, can you recommend how we should proceed?
Thx

Just make your variables private. For instance:

    def activate(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self._classifier = 5

ok, variables prefixed with an underscore are ignored? Thanks (:

We should mention that in the docs (and mention that class variables are added to http responses).

@drevicko will do. Thanks for reporting this!
