webpy-mongodb-sessions

A SessionStore class that allows you to use web.py sessions with MongoDB.

To setup:

import web
from session import MongoStore
from pymongo import Connection
#if you want to do user auth stuff add the following line
import users

#First get a MongoDB database object
c = Connection()
db = c.webpy

#Create a new session object, passing the db and collection name to the MongoStore object
session = web.session.Session(app, MongoStore(db, 'sessions'))

#If you want to do user authentication and stuff aswell, add these two lines
users.session = session
users.collection = db.users
users.SALTY_GOODNESS = u'RANDOM_SALT'

To use:

You can now use the session object as you would do with normal web.py sessions - http://webpy.org/cookbook/sessions.

To handle user stuff:

#USER REGISTRATION
users.register(username=username, password=users.pswd(password), contacts=[]) # Add anything you want to store as kwargs

#USER LOGIN AND AUTH
user = users.authenticate(username, pass)
if user:
    users.login(user)
else:
    #Handle your login failure
    pass

#GET LOGGED IN USER
users.get_user()

#USER LOGOUT
users.logout()

#RESTRICT A URL TO LOGGED IN USERS
class Hidden:
    @users.login_required
    def GET(self):
        #Do your stuff
        pass
