Hi Timothy --
I suppose the documentation doesn't have a step-by-step because there's
really not a step-by-step to it.
When you create a Session object, it looks for a cookie called pysid in
the client's browser. If that cookie does not exist, creating the
Session object sets the cookie in the client's browser.
So for example:
<%
# sessionfu.psp
from mod_python import Session
import pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter()
sess = Session.Session(req)
newkey = form.getfirst('newkey','')
newvalue = form.getfirst('newvalue','')
%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Session-Fu</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
if sess.is_new():
req.write('''<p>This is a new session.</p>''')
else:
if newkey != '':
# Since Session is an extension of dict, we can assign key/value
pairs to it
sess[newkey] = newvalue
req.write('''<p>This is an existing session.</p>''')
# dump the keys and values in the session already
req.write('''<pre>'''+pp.pformat(sess)+'''</pre>''')
%>
<!-- With this form you can set new keys and values in the session -->
<form action="sessionfu.psp">
<p>Key: <input name="newkey" type="text" /> Value: <input
name="newvalue" type="text" /> <input type="submit" /></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I haven't compiled the above, but you get the gist.
