Hey everyone, I spent about an hour on this so here it is if anyone ever gets stuck like I did.
I turned up my second web.py app today, and noticed I wasn't able to log in to both sites from the same browser. You guessed it - session cookie conflicts.
After digging in I discovered by default the cookie_name for any web.py app is hardcoded. I didn't find anything in the docs about how to change it, so I dug in to the code. Here's the answer that worked for me...
app = web.application(urls, globals(), autoreload=True)
web.config.session_parameters["cookie_name"] = "my_app_name"
session = web.session.Session(app, web.session.ShelfStore(shelve.open('session.shelf')))
This would be a perfect entry for the web.py wiki! Coming soon???? :-P
