Is there a unique session ID created in a Python CGI app.?
No. Each transaction in a web server is separate. There is no concept of
"sessions".
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?
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.
