I'm trying to pass the session object from one file to another in order to use the same session object across all the different things I need to do (list/create VMs etc.) So far I've tried using Pickle (which hasn't worked as there is a lock instance on the object). I'm now trying to use Cherrypy to enable me to store the object as a cookie (which I'm already doing for name and fedid). But I'm getting an error which says the session object isn't JSON serializable.
How do I get past this error and is this the right way to go about passing session objects? If it's not the correct solution, how do I pass session objects (the documentation isn't exactly helpful)?

OPENSTACK_HOST = cherrypy.request.config.get("openstack_host")
OPENSTACK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN =
cherrypy.request.config.get("openstack_default_domain")
loader = loading.get_plugin_loader('password')
auth = loader.load_from_options(auth_url=KEYSTONE_URL, username=data.get("username"), password=data.get("password").replace(" ","%20"),user_domain_name=OPENSTACK_DEFAULT_DOMAIN)
sess = session.Session(auth=auth)
nova = client.Client(NOVA_VERSION,session=sess)
data = {
'name' : name,
'fedid' : data.get("username"),
'sessionTest' : json.dumps(sess),
'expires' : EXPIRE
}

The issue is with the loader object.
You should load the auth credentials at the reciever
you can pickle loader and the options but not the auth object
