Now can you explain why one would want to do this?
Unless you provide some justification of why it is necessary it is
less likely
to be accepted as although the reasons may be obvious to you, it may not
be to us. There also may be better ways of achieving the same end.
Also, describe why this would be better than simply deleting the cookie
that is being created from the outgoing headers.
del req.headers_out["Set-Cookie"]

Hi,
I wrote a simple patch for 'Session.py'. Patch adds possibility to
disable cookies generation by session. And it's optional.
By default cookies generation enabled.
Add Apache directive 'Python Option sessin_cookie_generation 0' for
disabling.
