Pass variable to session using CherryPy

I have started using CherryPy on a project. I love it because of it's simplicity but the learning curve has been steep because of the lack of documentation.

First, I would like ot "set" a variable on the user's session.

@cherrypy.expose
def setter(self):
    email = "[email protected]"
    cherrypy.session["email"] = email
    return "Variable passed to session"

Second, I would like to call that variable from the session on a different function. 

@cherrypy.expose
def getter(self):
    return cherrypy.session.get("email")
Solution

  • Your "set" example is correct.

    cherrypy.session["email"] = email

    But your "get" example should just be:

    return cherrypy.session["email"]
