I hope, for your own sanity, that by "rolling my own" you mean "my own session extension", not "my own web framework." ;) > Have I missed the feature session event somewhere? You haven't missed it in CherryPy because we actually took it out a few years ago on purpose--it was a request rare enough to warrant favoring simplicity of the code base over feature creep. These days, the standard approach in CP 3.x is to subclass cherrypy.lib.sessions.FileSession (or one of the others), and add your own calls where you want them, then just stuff your new class into the sessions module via "cherrypy.lib.sessions.MyFileSession = MyFileSession" (and the config system will automatically pick it up).
