Hey Jonathan,

Thanks for that - I seem to have had my brain switched off - the
sessions are not (nessecarily) stored as bdb, i just realised that
what I am using is the default backend for beaker sessions in pylons.
So, I don't actually know if it's file or dbm (which I think/thought
uses bdb?).  If it's file based, deleting is safe, if its bdb I'll
have to do some other magic.

Ok, so I went and checked the beaker code:
In Session's __init__:
        if not type:
            if data_dir:
                self.type = 'file'
            else:
                self.type = 'memory'
        else:
            self.type = type

so this probably means I am using file based as I have a data_dir
defined and don't explicitly specify a type, therefore deleting should
be ok...

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for all the responses, much
appreciated!
