I've found out that the session file is always updated 
(Session._try_store_in_file) if I access auth.user_groups. When the user is 
logged in I'm iterating through auth.user_groups which modifies the session.

I've the following code:

if auth.user_id:
    for role in auth.user_groups.itervalues():
       ...


when auth.user_groups.itervalues is called (or auth.user_groups.iteritems) 
the session is changed. The reason is the pickled session (in 
Session._unchanged) is different, although I've got no clue how this can 
happen. I always thought itervalues does not change the dict.

I've made this small test:

if auth.user_id:

    import cPickle as pickle

    session_pickled1 = pickle.dumps(session, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)
    for role in auth.user_groups.itervalues():
        continue
    session_pickled2 = pickle.dumps(session, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)
    eq = (session_pickled1 == session_pickled2)


where eq is always False once auth.user_groups contains at least one item. 
Is there any explanation for this?
