That produced this error: BeakerException: pycryptopp is not installed, can't use encrypted cookie-only Session.But, the docs (http://pylonshq.com/docs/en/0.9.7/sessions) seem to say that either Python 2.5 or pycriptopp would be sufficient: "The key to use for the session encryption, if not provided the session will not be encrypted. This will only work if a strong hash scheme is available, such as pycryptopp’s or Python 2.5’s hashlib.sha256." Running on this workstation with Python 2.5.2. Why is an error still produced?
The docs are inaccurate in this case, I'll update them to fix this bug. Encryption does require pycryptopp, while the session *signature* that ensures its integrity so it can't be tampered with requires a normal Python sha library which works on Python 2.4 and up.
