Products.BeakerZopeSessionManager 1.0

Description:

Products.BeakerZopeSessionManager 1.0

#Introduction
Products.BeakerZopeSessionManager is a replacement for the default Zope 4
session implementation. It uses Beaker as a backend (via collective.beaker)
and adapts the Beaker session to provide the same interface as a normal Zope
session.
Beaker is a better alternative to the default session implementation for several
reasons:

The Zope session implementation does not perform well in high-write scenarios.
Beaker provides better flexibility in where session data is actually stored.
Beaker is used and maintained outside of the Zope ecosystem.

.. Note::
If you are developing a product that needs sessions but are not already
using Zope sessions, you should probably just use collective.beaker
directly. This product is meant for use with existing add-ons that already
use Zope sessions (i.e. request.SESSION).
#Installation
Include the line <include package="collective.beaker" /> in yout site.zcml
Edit the file lib/python3.7/site-packages/Zope2/Startup/serve.py inside your virtual env.
Replace (line 200):
try:
serve(app)`
except (SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt) as e:

with:
try:
from beaker.middleware import SessionMiddleware
config = {
'session.type': 'file',
'session.auto': True,
'session.save_accessed_time': True,
'session.data_dir': '/tmp/sessions/data',
'session.lock_dir': '/tmp/sessions/lock',
'session.timeout': 28800
}
server(SessionMiddleware(app, config))
except (SystemExit, KeyboardInterrupt) as e:

For more info on how to configure your Beaker, please refer to Beaker documentation.
#Notes

Beaker does not automatically clean up old sessions, so you may want to set
up a cron job to take care of this.
