It was originally forked from pyramid_redis_sessions to optimize for high-traffic deployments by reducing Redis communication overhead and supporting flexible timeout strategies. The package manages both session timeouts (inactivity-based, with configurable refresh triggers) and cookie expiry separately, allowing fine-grained control over session lifecycle.\n\nThe library depends on redis, pyramid, zope.interface, and typing_extensions. It supports Python 3.7+ with Pyramid 2.0 on the current branch, though older 1.6.x releases support Python 2 and Pyramid 1.x. The package uses semantic versioning with minor versions potentially containing small breaking changes announced via deprecation warnings. Session payload format changed significantly in version 1.4, making old 1.2.x sessions incompatible.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and actively maintained (recent commits, no known vulnerabilities), but install friction is high due to multiple dependencies and the requirement for a running Redis server. It is well-suited for multi-server Pyramid deployments or high-traffic applications where session management performance matters. Not recommended for simple single-server applications where in-process sessions suffice. The aging maintenance status (291 days since release) is not a blocker but warrants monitoring if you depend on frequent updates."},"id":"pyramid-session-redis","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyramid-session-redis","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyramid-session-redis.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyramid-session-redis/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-10-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyramid-session-redis","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"High performance and actively maintained server-side session framework for Pyramid and Redis."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79996,"position":14326,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.8.1"}
