Is there a unique session ID created in a Python CGI app.?
If not, and I suspect not, what is the best way to keep track of the session
that loads each web page? I need to store form data from multiple forms
completed by the user. What is the best way to keep track of which user is
which?
Thanks!

No. Each transaction in a web server is separate. There is no concept of
"sessions".

One common way is to generate a random number as a session ID and send it
to the client as a cookie. Another way is to embed the session ID in a
<input type=hidden> field, but then you have to remember to carry that
forward in ALL the forms.

I write a piece of code to tracking the number of clicks on a link
each day. The link usu. gets about 3000-6000 clicks per day. I just
store today's click count in a one-line text file, like,
01/07/2004 1234
The first field is the date and the second field is number of clicks.
I just read the current count, increase by 1 and then write back. When
another day comes, I write today's count to mysql DB.

Hi all
I've just written a VERY simple shopping cart system for my own joy and

about sessions but I want to keep adding to it.
What happens at the moment is that it starts a session when the visitor
enters the site. As soon as the visitor adds something to their cart it
adds a row into a table where the session id is used as the unique
identifier in the...

I am new to Python and desperated to look for a good Python debugger.

gud offers execellent development env. The source code tracking is
extremely useful for recursive functions.
I have spent time Googling but not found anything near.
Thanks!

I'm writing a rough draft of a suite of small Perl apps that will,

I'm having trouble with the concept of one particular part of the

user authentication (since I've no idea how Perl could "ask" the server
who just authenticated to htaccess), so the login script will have an...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
