is this a know issue? i'm i missing something?

what version of python are you using? gaeutilities only supports 2.5 like appengine.

i'm getting the error online at the demo page, at this address

http://gaeutilities.appspot.com/session

i still cannot wiew the page, unless i reset my browser cache, but
then again i'll get the error if i do refresh the page

Ah ok... known issue with appengine I'm afraid.

http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4238&q=gaeutilities&colspec=ID%20Type%20Component%20Status%20Stars%20Summary%20Language%20Priority%20Owner%20Log

Bad thing is it's inconsistent. When I view the demo it works perfectly fine, so only some of the application servers are having that problem. Google marked it as acknowledged 6 days ago, haven't heard anything since.

[Paolo Caminiti]

hope it will be solved, i need a session solution, yours is best i found around.

good xmas and thanks for the work.

interestingly enough, i'm not getting the problem from another connection (at work: another ISP still same city). while i still get it at home, were i have a internet provider called fastweb which does make many apartments connect under a single ip address and gives not a public address, which is not even identified by sites like the ip to country identifing service, my home ISP is called fastweb and it only operates in italy.

maybe the code is reling on something connected to this?

Nope, I think just some instances of appengine are having the problem and others are not. I think it's related to which end server on the appengine cluster is serving the result.
