There's no support to delete sessions right now.
One can delete information IN the session, but not the session itself.
Deleting the session itself is useful/required if you're tracking things against the session.
there should be a function like this (postgres implementation)
def delete( self , id):
self.cursor.execute(
'delete from session where id=%s',
(id,))
cookie_name = conf('session_filter.cookie_name', 'session_id')
cookie = cherrypy.response.simple_cookie
# cookie expires 1 year ago, because browser clocks are stupid. it would be best if they expire @epoch, but some browsers don't like that
gmt_expiration_time = time.gmtime(time.time() - ( 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 ))
cookie[cookie_name]['expires'] = time.strftime(
"%a, %d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S GMT", gmt_expiration_time)

- status changed from new to closed.
- resolution set to fixed.
Fixed in [1287]. The deletion of the session data (cherrypy.session.delete) is separated from the expiration of the cookie (cherrypy.lib.sessions.expire).
It isn't exactly what you are looking for, but you can force a session to expire by setting the expiration time to 0.
