Introducing License Enforcement in Socket
Ensure open-source compliance with Socket’s License Enforcement Beta. Set up your License Policy and secure your software!
Fast WSGI sessions. Zero dependencies. Python 3 ready.
Basic usage::
import obsession
application = obsession.SessionMiddleware(application)
Advanced usage::
# Customize all the options
application = obsession.SessionMiddleware(
application,
id_persister=obsession.CookieIdPersistence(cookie_name='mysession',
max_age=86400,
path='/my-site',
domain='mysite.example.org'
secure=True),
backend=obsession.FileBackend(directory='/tmp/session-store',
prefix='session_')
)
Your application will now have a session object available in
environ['ob.session']
.
The session object acts like a regular dictionary::
session = environ['ob.session']
session['foo'] = 'bar'
session['bar'] = [1, 2, 3]
The session will be saved automatically whenever you mutate the
session object itself - for example by assigning a new key, or reassigning an
existing key. However if you change an already stored value then
you should call session.save()
to ensure your changes are saved.
There are some useful extra properties and methods::
# Persist the session to the backend
session.save()
# What's my session id?
my_session_id = session.id
# Cycle the session id.
# This generates a new session id and invalidates the old one.
session.cycle()
# Load a session with a known id.
# Useful if you need to pass the session through another service that
# does not have access to the cookie.
s = environ['ob.session']
s.load_id('my_session_id')
# Delete the session.
# This removes all data from the backend storage and deletes the client's
# session cookie
session.delete()
