webapp2 sessions get_sessions (max_age) does not override default config

[ogterran]

I am using webapp2 sessions and I want to override my default max_age settings (None) by using the max_age parameters in get_sessions()

self.session_store = sessions.get_store(request=self.request)

self.session_store.get_session(max_age=1000000, backend='datastore')

The backend works here, as i see the session in the database, but max_age is still None, as when i view the cookie in the browser, it expires when the browsing session ends. 

How can i override the default max_age? 

Thanks

Jon

I believe you can do this by setting session_max_age config param.
See this for more details:
http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/_modules/webapp2_extras/sessions.html

Also, the webapp2 group is actually here:

I know i can set the max_age in the config. I did that. 

But i want to override the max_age value from config, by setting max_age in get_sessions.

Use case is this. I want by default max_age to be None.

But if the user clicks on the "Remember me" checkbox,  their session to last longer than the browser session.

I think max_age param in get_session() is used to verify a session validity.

What you're after is probably webapp2_extras.auth.set_session(...,
remember=True)
See this: http://webapp-improved.appspot.com/_modules/webapp2_extras/auth.html#Auth.set_session

ps. Please do move this discussion to web...@googlegroups.com

Ah, that makes more sense now. 

I'll take a look at auth.set_session and move this discussion to webapps2.

Thanks!
