<p>This module contains some helper classes that help one to add session
support to a python WSGI application.  For full client-side session
storage see <a class="reference internal" href="securecookie.html#module-werkzeug.contrib.securecookie" title="werkzeug.contrib.securecookie"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">securecookie</span></tt></a> which implements a
secure, client-side session storage.</p>

<p>The current session will then appear in the WSGI environment as
<cite>werkzeug.session</cite>.  However it&#8217;s recommended to not use the middleware
but the stores directly in the application.  However for very simple
scripts a middleware for sessions could be sufficient.</p>
<p>This module does not implement methods or ways to check if a session is
expired.  That should be done by a cronjob and storage specific.  For
example to prune unused filesystem sessions one could check the modified
time of the files.  It sessions are stored in the database the new()
method should add an expiration timestamp for the session.</p>
<p>For better flexibility it&#8217;s recommended to not use the middleware but the
store and session object directly in the application dispatching:</p>
