You do not give sufficient context for me to give a useful answer, and
in any case your question would be better directed to
python-list at python.org, where it would not rely on the kindness and
availability of a single individual. I have taken the liberty of posting
this reply to that list.

Since you talk about session management I assume you plan to make this
script available on the web? In that case the usual (though not the
only) mechanism for establishing session state is to have the server
issue a cookie with a distinct value to each different client, and then
to associate a specific set of session data with the value submitted by
the client.

If you already know this, then it comes down to the specifics of the web
framework you are using. Since you do not give that information it is
not possible to be more precise.
