I am having difficulty storing a simple (non-SQL) object in the
session. I wondered if anyone could give me a clue as to why. The
following works:

def update_profile():
    if (session.sections!=None):
        session.sections=None
        return dict(sections='spam')
    else:
        session.sections={}
        #x = testClass()
        x = 'eggs'
        session.sections=x
        return dict(sections=`x`)

class testClass:
    pass

with a toggling result on successive reloads of:

' e g g s '
<<RELOAD THE PAGE>>
s p a m
...

However if I swap the two lines as below:

def update_profile():
    if (session.sections!=None):
        session.sections=None
        return dict(sections='spam')
    else:
        session.sections={}
        x = testClass()
        #x = 'eggs'
        session.sections=x
        return dict(sections=`x`)

class testClass:
    pass

The result fails to toggle:

<__b u i l t i n__.testClassinstanceat0xab18ccc>
<<RELOAD THE PAGE>>
<__b u i l t i n__.testClassinstanceat0xab094cc>
...

Which appears that the object doesn't ever actually store into the
session. I searched the group and from what I can tell this is
possible, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance!
