One more doubt about sessions & there is no documentation for it or I could not find it
In short How do we handle session expiry In Long Now that I am using sessions with appengine I have used yejun's version of session.py https://github.com/yejun/webpy/blob/GAE/web/session.py it allows you to use Google datastore for maintaining the session info ... so I create a session and it will store some data in the datastore. Now the question is how exactly this session would expire ... going thru the session.py code was helpful but I think some more external help would be gr8 So do we need to have a cron type job to periodically remove the old sessions from the datastore or is there some inbuilt mechanism built into the session.py to handle it. (I know there is inbuilt code in session.py to do it .. just not sure how exactly to do it) Thanks & Regards PK On Jan 14, 11:20 pm, Dexter <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Branko ... > > this is how I got it working ...
