the less session you use, the more your app is scalable. that being said, it's pretty clear that you can't leverage in python something that is only available on javascript. maybe but just maybe you can POST back to web2py a variable that is stored on the sessionstorage (i.e. the current date if sessionstorage.currentdate does not exist yet) and use it to namespace your session key names (hence, values) amongst tabs.
