I had this issue when I started with web.py, and I was completely new to
Python too.
Right or wrong, here's what I did. I moved on because it worked.
1) I created a file called sharedsession.py It's one line - looks like
this:
- session = None
2) in my main web.py file I do this:
- import sharedsession
- ...
- sharedsession.session = web.session.Session(app,
web.session.ShelfStore(shelve.open('session.shelf')))
(I'm using shelf because I was having problems with the other type and
wsgi/apache, and I don't wanna use a db.)
Then, in all my other modules I "import sharedsession" and just reference
'session' there.
Like I said, I'm no python expert, in fact I still don't fully understand
"import" to this day. (It's like a black box for me... it works, it's
magical in some ways, and I don't understand why.)
If this is horribly wrong I hope someone else will warn you not to use my
terrible idea. If it's right, you're welcome! ;-)
