I may can help. I forked web.py a long time ago so my codebase isn't 
exactly the same but I have a few tricks for making sessions work. It may 
also be worth looking at: http://webpy.org/cookbook/session_with_reloader 
as well.

When I make my main application I run the following:
if web.config.get('_session') is None:
    store = web.session.DBStore(self.db, 'sessions')
    store.cleanup(10.0)
    session = web.session.Session(app, store, initializer=self.initializer)
    web.config._session = session
else:
    session = web.config._session

I have a config.py file that I import into my main application that has a 
function called session
def session():
    return web.config._session

I import config into my sub apps and config.session().value works fine in 
my application code.

When I create my render object for an app or subapp I do the following:
render._add_global(config.session, 'context')

which makes my session data available in my templetor pages as well:
$def with (title=None, data=None)
$var title: $:title
<p>$:context().value</p>

If configured properly you will be able to access your session data across 
all your sub apps and inside all of your templetor docs.
