A number of people have had issues with this error since the sessionfilter was changed. Should we include some code in setup.py to check for the existence of the cherrypy/lib/filter/sessionfilter dir and take some action (warn, remove dir, etc)? If there is a consensus, I would be willing to cook something up.

Ok, I went ahead and made a patch for this. If someone with more experience could take a look at it before I commit it, I'd appreciate it.
Here is sample output when setup.py detects the old sessionfilter dir:
christian@wyglen:~/CherryPy-2.1.0-rc1$ python setup.py install --home=~/abigtestaroo ... running install running build running build_py running install_lib running install_data ************************ WARNING ***************************** Since you have installed over the top of an existing CherryPy installation, you must remove the old sessionfilter package directory at: /home/christian/abigtestaroo/lib/python/cherrypy/lib/filter/sessionfilter ************************ WARNING *****************************
I think that warning the user is a better approach than automatically deleting files from their system. If anyone has any suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

- attachment setup.py.patch added.

Could you prompt for deletion at that point (in addition to the warning)?

- status changed from new to closed.
- resolution set to fixed.
Implemented prompt for deletion. Fixed in changeset 676.
You need to delete /path/to/site-packages/cherrypy/lib/filter/sessionfilter dir. I am assuming that you just installed 2.1-rc1 over the top of some older version. The session system has changed since the beta release, and is no longer a package dir. So delete that dir, and you should be set.
