""" Tutorial - Sessions Storing session data in CherryPy applications is very easy: cherrypy provides a dictionary called "session" that represents the session data for the current user. If you use RAM based sessions, you can store any kind of object into that dictionary; otherwise, you are limited to objects that can be pickled.
