[Grok-dev] Store session data

[Jeffrey D Peterson]

There is a great deal more you can do but, the basics are similar to this:

from zope.session.interfaces import ISession
import grok

session_name = 'my.session'

class MyView(grok.View):

	def update(self):
		session = ISession(self.request)[session_name]

		session['mydata'] = 'Some data you want to store'

		return

def MyOtherView(grok.View):

	def update(self):
		session = ISession(self.request)[session_name]

		self.mydata = session.get('mydata', None)

		return
