I'm being very simple minded. I just pickle each dictionary entry and
double-up all single quotes before sending it to PostgreSQL, and reverse
the process on the way out. I don't use cacheing since PostgreSQL does this
anyway, and because I need the session store to behave in a write-through
manner for safety.

This could be so, but I've not used either long enough to notice any
limitations in my simplistic implementation. Basically, I can store
anything that can be pickled, which is good enough for the moment. However,
I doubt very much if it is as good as the Webware code...
