But anyway, I have an ASP.NET background. Session["key"] = value is normal. In PHP also: $_SESSION['views'] = $value;
I see this as a limitation because I cannot persist an object into a session( if the session file it's not created) with a variable as key. For example: some_id = 'my_id' session[some_id] = 'some content' But I think, I need to learn the python way :) i On May 9, 8:47 am, ionel <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you. > I didn't know.... :) I'm still a python noob, I think. > > On May 9, 2:03 am, Thadeus Burgess <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The reason is > > > session.button1 returns None if the key is not found.... whereas > > session['button1'] raises an exception when the key is not found. > > > This is typically python behavior. > > > -- > > Thadeus > > > On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 11:44 PM, ionel <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I think I found a bug. > > > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > > File "G:\dev\proj\python\web2py\gluon\restricted.py", line 178, in > > > restricted > > > exec ccode in environment > > > File "G:\dev\proj\python\web2py\applications\myapp/views\default/ > > > index.html", line 97, in <module> > > > KeyError: 'button1' > > > > If you don't have any session file in the session folder > > > session['button1'] it is not working, but session.button1 it does. > > > You need to delete all the session files to replicate the bug. > > > > Thanks. > > > > ionel > > > > On May 9, 12:05 am, ionel <[email protected]> wrote: > > >> Mea culpa! > > > >> Yes, they are equivalent.
