This is a dict-like object for session management.

The following keys are used:

sid
This is the session's ID.
lastModified
This is the last time the session was modified.

  clear(self)
Clear everything except the sid and lastModified keys.
  getCookieExpiration(self)
Return a value for ctx.response.cookie["sid"]["expires"].

Method Details

__init__(self, sid)
(Constructor)

Create or open a session.

Don't call this directly--use SessionContainer.open.

Overrides:
__builtin__.dict.__init__

clear(self)

Clear everything except the sid and lastModified keys.

Overrides:
__builtin__.dict.clear

getCookieExpiration(self)

Return a value for ctx.response.cookie["sid"]["expires"].

If properties.SET_COOKIE_EXPIRATION is 0 or not set, just return 0. Otherwise, return something based on properties.MAXIMUM_SESSION_LIFETIME.

save(self)

Persist a session.

This method may be extended. This base class takes care of updating the lastModified key.
