Hi Nicolas, Jim
PythonSessionCreate as suggested is nice for flexibility, but scary for
non-coders - I like Jim's multiple options for that reason

Hi Jim,
Why not have a single 'PythonSessionCreate' option which contains the
line of code that should be evaled to create the session ?
Example :
PythonSessionCreate
"Session.FileSession(session_directory='/var/lib/mod_python/sess',timeout=14400,lock=1)"
The cost of eval could be brought down by precompiling the option
string to a code object and running the code object in precompiled
form.
This seems a bit more flexible to me and won't force you to refactor
the Session.py code.

2005/6/12, Jim Gallacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've created a new apache directive called PythonSessionOption. This
would be used to configure session handling in the apache config file.
This data is accessed with a new request method, req.get_session_options().
Although we could use the PythonOption directive instead of creating a
new one, I believe it's better to keep the session config data separate
so we don't need to worry about collisions with current user code or
configuration.
Typical Usage
-------------
In a test script mptest.py
def handler(req)
opts = req.get_session_options()
for k in sess_conf:
req.write('%s: %s' % (k,opts[k])
In Session.FileSession:
__init__(self,req,sid):
opts = req.get_session_options()
timeout = int(opts.get('timeout', DFT_TIMEOUT))
In an Apache config file:
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.12:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/
PythonSessionOption session FileSession
PythonSessionOption session_directory /var/lib/mod_python/sess
PythonSessionOption timeout 14400
PythonSessionOption lock 1
...
</VirtualHost>
If there are no objections I'll commit the code. I have not refactored
Sessions.py to use the new configuration scheme just yet.
Regards,
Jim
