Google App Engine Sessions

Google App Engine home
I'm so used to using Sessions in PHP that it never occurred to me that you might have a web application framework that doesn't support them as a core feature. But GAE, for the time being, does not. Thus far, I've looked at two third-party libraries, neither of which meets all the bullet-points on my list.

The main developer points out that he developed this class as a means to an end. The session class code can be found
here. My only reservation with it is that, unlike PHP sessions, it does not compensate for users who do not accept cookies.

Beaker was designed for use with the pylons framework, which I haven't used and, given Google's support for Django, probably won't. I wasn't able to get it functioning with my local dev sites and am not sure if it can be integrated with Django. If you figure it out, let the
Google Groups gang know.
