I use Cornice to make RESTful urls.
I installed pyramid-beaker and added the include to my __init__.py as specified in the doc.
That's it. Then I did this in my views:
p_desc = """Service to post session. """
p = Service(name='p',\
path=root+'/1',\
description=register_desc)
g_desc = """Service to get session. """
g = Service(name='g',\
path=root+'/2',\
description=g_desc)
@g.get()
def view2(request):
print request.session
return Response()
@p.post()
def view1(request):
print 'here'
request.session['lol'] = 'what'
request.session.save()
print request.session
return Response()
And this is my outcome
>>> requests.post('http://localhost/proj/1')
<Response [200]>
>>> requests.get('http://localhost/proj/2')
<Response [200]>
Starting HTTP server on http://0.0.0.0:6543
here
{'_accessed_time': 1346107789.2590189, 'lol': 'what', '_creation_time': 1346107789.2590189}
localhost - - [27/Aug/2012 18:49:49] "POST /proj/1 HTTP/1.0" 200 0
{'_accessed_time': 1346107791.0883319, '_creation_time': 1346107791.0883319}
localhost - - [27/Aug/2012 18:49:51] "GET /proj/2 HTTP/1.0" 200 4
As you can see it gives back new session. How do I get that same session so that I can access that same data?
Sessions are tracked with a cookie sent to the client. So your 'client' (the requests library) needs to actually send that cookie back again:
resp = requests.post('http://localhost/proj/1')
cookies = resp.cookies
requests.get('http://localhost/proj/2', cookies=cookies)
Better still would be to use a requests.Session set-up:
with requests.Session() as s:
s.post('http://localhost/proj/1')
s.get('http://localhost/proj/2')
