Session variables?

[Steve]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a clean way of sharing variables across different
python webpages and scripts and I need something like a session variable
for each user. Is this possible in Python? I've been "pickling" stuff
and this doesn't work at all with mutliple users as things get mixed up.
Is there any clean way of doing this? Thanks,


Steve

One way is put all the variables into a browser cookie. You have to
be careful about security when you do that though. Don't use a pickle.

The session module in jonpy package seems to be a nice base for
sessions, though it lacks some features like explicitly deleting a session.
