How to use beaker session in bottle micro framework?

beaker, bottle, python, session

Solution

session_opts = {
    'session.type': 'file',
    'session.cookie_expires': 300,
    'session.data_dir': './data',
    'session.auto': True
}
myapp = SessionMiddleware(app, session_opts)
run(app=myapp)

Problem

When I try to assign something to the session dictionary using beaker, I get the following error: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): rv = callback(*a, **ka) File "controllers.py", line 30, in login s['email'] = email TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa - - [12/Feb/2012 18:48:52] "POST /login HTTP/1.1" 500 746 ``` where ``` s = bottle.request.environ.get('beaker.session') ``` I follow the tutorial at the bottle FAQ.
