[albatross-users] Finding Saved Values in Sessions

[Mike Barrett]

I just realized that my code samples below aren't all that useful without
some sort of context.  Here's a bit larger snippet of the code:

class AppContext(SessionFileAppContext):
    def isAuthenticated(self):
        self.locals.isAuthenticated = 0
        # This returns None (the session file exists in the directory 
        # I specified though)
        self.locals.blah = self.app.get_session(self.sesid())
        # This returns the appropriate session id
        self.locals.sesid = self.sesid()
        #self.locals.isAuthenticated = self.decode_session(self.app.get_session(self.sesid())).has_key('LoginName')

===

I hope this makes more sense of what I'm seeing.
