Hello,

Let say I put some data in session.var1 for reuse in case user want to 
download the content of the page with the help of buttons for the purpose 
which call the same function with one more prameter telling the controller 
function which file format the user expect...

So you can check if file format parameter is there and pass the 
session.var1 to the sub funciton :

if request.vars.file_format:
    export_to_file(session.var1)
else:
    del(session.var1)  # Here I can't delete var1 from session in case a 
new call is made to the controller for the first time...

But, what to do with session.var1 in case the which will remain there if I 
load any other app pages??

Should I create a clean_up_session()?

Something like this :

def clean_up_session():
    if session.var1 and request.function != 'my_controller_func' and not 
request.vars.file_format:
        del(session.var1)

Which I would need to executed at every request (can't be put in model file 
for that purpose)...

But I am curious what is consider the best practices regarding session 
variables ?

Thanks

Richard
