Thank you for your comments.
There are 4 mechanisms for pesistance:
1) database
2) cache (ram, disk, memcache)
3) session
4) cookies
If you want to store in server ram memeory you should use cache.ram.
cache.ram cache the output of a function and the object cached needs
to a name (key). For example
import time
def f(): return time.time()
t=cache.ram("mytime",f,5000)
5000 is the expiration time of the cached object.
Not sure I answered the question.
