-> I am having a bit of trouble understanding how sessions remain
-> persistent with Quixote.  I want users to be able to login and see pages
-> that are restricted to that particular user.  So far, the _q_lookup
-> seems to working fine.
->
-> I am aware that I must use SessionManager and SessionPublisher, as well
-> as _q_access; however, I am just a bit confused about how the pieces fit
-> together in order for sessions to remain persistent.
->
-> Does anyone have a concrete example of how this works, or how these
-> pieces fit together?  By the way, I am using mod_python and I would like
-> to eventually tie in the session tracking with a PostgreSQL database.

Here's a simple example I whipped up for exactly your situation:

under "example code", "storing sessions in an SQL database".

I use this code in two production servers.

Comments welcome & appreciated!
