Don't think of it as an extra session object, rather think
of it as creating a new Game object for each game. I think
that's actually a clearer and more OO way to approach the
problem than trying to clear out and re-use an existing
object.

Nope, this doesn't solve your fundamental problem of getting rid of a 
duplicate assignment,


I'd probably do it like this:

  class ApplicationContext:

def __init__(self):
  self.session = None
  reset()

def reset(self):
  self.session = GameSession()
