"""Quixote session management. There are two levels to Quixote's
session management system:
- SessionManager
- Session
A SessionManager is responsible for creating sessions, setting and reading
session cookies, maintaining the collection of all sessions, and so forth.
There is one SessionManager instance per Quixote process.
A Session is the umbrella object for a single session (notionally, a (user,
host, browser_process) triple). Simple applications can probably get away
with putting all session data into a Session object (or, better, into an
application-specific subclass of Session).
The default implementation provided here is not persistent: when the
Quixote process shuts down, all session data is lost. See
doc/session-mgmt.txt for information on session persistence.

SessionManager acts as a dictionary of all sessions, mapping session
ID strings to individual session objects. Session objects are
instances of Session (or a custom subclass for your application).
SessionManager is also responsible for creating and destroying
sessions, for generating and interpreting session cookies, and for
session persistence (if any -- this implementation is not
persistent).
Most applications can just use this class directly; sessions will
be kept in memory-based dictionaries, and will be lost when the
Quixote process dies. Alternatively an application can subclass
SessionManager to implement specific behaviour, such as persistence.
