Webware for Python

I don't know a good tutorial, but the session class is here:
http://webware.sourceforge.net/Webware-0.8b1/WebKit/Docs/Source/Summaries/Session.py.html
and you can access a session from your servlet via:
self.session()

ie:
#test for a session var:
	if (self.session().hasValue('sortOn')):
# pull in a session var (any python object)	
	sortOn=self.session().value('sortOn')
#pull in a seeson var w/ a default of '0'
	sortOn=self.session().value('sortOn',0)
#set a value
	username='aaron'
	seld.session().setValue('name',username)
#delete a value
	self.session().delValue('name')
#get sessionID
	SID = self.session().identifier()

Sessions per default require cookies, but you can tell Webware in the
Config file to use path sessions as a fallback. (I never used these,
so: Could someone confirm that it is indeed a fallback solution or
will enabling path sessions remove the - more secure - cookies even if
cookies are accepted by the user?)

In the session itself, you can put basically everything that is
picklabe (even more, but this might lead to strange behaviour). 
A session example is in http://footils.org/pkg/shop.tgz

Thanks for the info, I just made the changes to my site and now the macs
work great using sesssions instead of cookies.

BTW has anyone else had any difficulty setting complex cookies on OSX?
