MySQLdb Sessions

[Ken]

I developed a class for storing sessions in a MySQL database. It keeps
one database connection per thread, using thread.local. I put it up on
my blog, but how should I go about in having it added to CherryPy in
some way so other users can benefit from it?

Here's the code:

(It's zipped because my stupid hosting company can't serve .py files
as static content -- go figure).

I'm assuming this is useful to others. How should I get it included in
CherryPy?

It looks pretty good to me. The next step would be either:

1) Make a ticket and attach your code, or
2) Paste your code somewhere on http://tools.cherrypy.org

...both approaches designed to give it some time for community comments.

...but I forgot to say "thanks!" :) This is a great contribution I've
been hoping for for some time.
