In the current version of web2py, the default behavior is that upon logout, the session is cleared and renewed (i.e., a new session ID is issued). However, it does not delete the old session file. When you say it "somehow doesn't work," do you just mean the old session file remains, or is something else not working? > What I want is something like sessions2trash.py script - except that file > should deleted right away - even if the session has *not* expired. > > Currently I'm using something like following. *Please suggest correct way > to handle this* (I know this works only for file based sessions, but that > is OK) > > def post_logout(user): > try: > import os > os.unlink(response.session_filename) # Clear the session from disk > except OSError: > pass > session.renew(clear_session=True) # Clear the memory/Storage object. > You shouldn't need that last line, as the logout function already does exactly that by default.
