I now have a somewhat different issue with session cookies.
1. I see that session['_id'] is created when a page on the site is
first encountered. Are '_creation_time' and 'accessed_time' supposed
to be created automatically? Or should those two fields be set in my
code?
2. The code below is in the base controller. A new session cookie is
produced (and new '_id' field) each time the same page is encountered:
if 'cre_dt' not in session_cookies:
session_cookies['cre_dt'] = datetime.now()
session_cookies['acc_dt'] = datetime.now()
session_cookies.save()
Can someone explain how Pylons handles session cookies and why the
session
Thanks.
