It provides a dict-like interface for storing and retrieving user-specific data across HTTP requests, with the session identifier stored in an HTTP cookie named AIOHTTP_SESSION (customizable via the storage class).\n\nThe library offers three main storage backends: SimpleCookieStorage (plain JSON in cookie, for testing only), EncryptedCookieStorage (encrypted cookie storage), and RedisStorage (server-side storage in Redis with only the session key in the cookie). You register the session middleware with your aiohttp Application via the setup() function, then retrieve the session object in handlers using get_session(request). The session automatically handles expiration, TTL management, and cookie attributes.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is the standard session middleware for aiohttp.web with low install friction, active maintenance, no known vulnerabilities, and a permissive license. Install it if you are building an aiohttp web application that needs to track user state across requests. Choose your storage backend based on security and scalability needs."},"id":"aiohttp-session","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-session","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-session.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-session/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-09-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiohttp-session","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"sessions for aiohttp.web"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":223136,"position":9251,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.12.1"}
