Example of using beaker sessions with bottle

sessiontest.py

import bottle
from beaker.middleware import SessionMiddleware

session_opts = {
    'session.type': 'memory',
    'session.cookie_expires': 300,
    'session.auto': True
}
app = SessionMiddleware(bottle.app(), session_opts)

@bottle.route('/')
def session_test():
    s = bottle.request.environ.get('beaker.session')
    s['test'] = 'this string came from the session'
    s.save()
    bottle.redirect('/output')

@bottle.route('/output')
def session_output():
    s = bottle.request.environ.get('beaker.session')
    return s['test']

bottle.run(
    app=app,
    host='localhost',
    port=5000,
    debug=True,
    reloader=True
)
