I added webapp2 sessions to my project on appengine which uses webapp2 for request handling and django for templates.
Following this page, I added the following to my script
import webapp2
from webapp2_extras import sessions
class BaseHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def dispatch(self):
# Get a session store for this request.
self.session_store = sessions.get_store(request=self.request)
try:
# Dispatch the request.
webapp2.RequestHandler.dispatch(self)
finally:
# Save all sessions.
self.session_store.save_sessions(self.response)
@webapp2.cached_property
def session(self):
# Returns a session using the default cookie key.
return self.session_store.get_session()
config = {}
config['webapp2_extras.sessions'] = {
'secret_key': 'my-super-secret-key',
}
However, now I get the following error

I have set the secret key, using config. I am not using anything else for sessions. The other imports are
import os,sys, string, time, sha, Cookie
from django.template import Context, Template
from django.template.loader import get_template
You need to include this config somewhere, such as in the WSGI app you create:
app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([('/path', MyHandler)],
config=config,
debug=True)
