Sessions are written to disk or database (depending on what storage device you choose) via the python pickle library. When a request comes in, the session module identifies the user by a unique cookie and loads the data from disk or db, again using the pickle library.
In your situation, the object would be instantiated, pickled to disk, and remain there until the session eventually expires (the default time is 1 day). It should not affect the memory usage of your running application during this time, but will use a (very small) amount of disk space until it expires.
