CherryPy sessions

2006-01-10 - Magnus Therning

I almost started pulling my hair over this. The part of the CherryPy book on sessions said that the following code would turn on sessions in CherryPy 2.1:

cherrypy.config.update({'session_filter.on' : True})

However trying to access session data after that resulted in a “500 Internal Error” page telling me that sessions weren’t enabled. Huh?

Luckliy I found this post on the topic. There’s apparently a typo in the book, the line should read:

cherrypy.config.update({'sessionFilter.on' : True})
