What is the Python equivalent of application & session scope variables?

Question

Recently started on python, wondered what the equivalent object was for storing session & application scope data?

I'm using Google App Engine too so if it has any extra features (can't seem to find any immediate references myself) that would be useful

Answer 1

I assume you're talking about a web session, used to retain state between http requests. Python is a general programming language and by itself doesn't contain the concept of a session.

However most different python web frameworks have session implementations. Which one are you using? I've linked to the session documentation on some python web frameworks:

• mod_python
• django
• paste
• web.py
