Sessions problem: most ignorant newbie yet...

Instead of specifying it in the configuration file I put in
my root
class something like:


    _cp_config = { "tools.sessions.on": True,
                           
"tools.sessions.timeout": 0.5  # minutes
                         }

It worked!

Did you put that line inside a [global] section in the
config file?

That's a side-effect of the CP innards--when you
"import cherrypy",
you're looking at dummy objects since the server hasn't been
started
yet. Because the session Tool is very optional, there's no
default dummy
object for cherrypy.session; it only gets added once you
start up the
server.
