Question

I’m new to Python (as well as GAE), I’m trying to include gaesessions in my application, this is exactly what I did:

I copied the gaesessions folder to my src folder (the folder includes __init__.py file)

and added this to my working code:

from gaesessions import get_current_session

session = get_current_session()

I received the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program

Answer 1

You’ve omitted the actual exception from your stack trace, but I’m guessing it’s this:

AttributeError: ‘local’ object has no attribute ‘current_session’

If so, you’ve most likely skipped the middleware configuration step. Create an appengine_config.py per the instructions and restart the dev server; this should resolve your error.
