According to the Session.py my client must hve cookies enabled to be

cookies...

I wish to avoid saying the user he must enable cookies, is there an
exit?



In my experience, most users run with cookies enabled. The only folks who don't are generally sophisticated enough to know how to turn them on for one site.


I think I partially solved my own question... The method sessionEncode
converts a url to a url+_SID_...

This can be usefull, but all links I wrote I need to change to this new
way... Is there an easier way than passing explicitly the _SID_ over
requests?



Yes. Use cookies.

But seriously, look at the problem from a higher level. In order to do sessions, you have to have some way to uniquely identify the particular person, so you can match them up with a session. To do that, the browser has to be passing you some piece of unique information. With HTTP/HTML, there are three ways to do that: (1) cookies, (2) extra information in the URL, (3) extra information in a POST hidden variable. #2 and #3 can both be quite messy.

If I was doing a mass-market eCommerce site, I would probably have fallback code to try all three options. For anything less than that, I don't mind requiring cookies.
