The main ticket is here https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/9288 But the main discussion is on the PR. I am writing this email, as a notification. Please follow up over PR. ---------- The bug is: When you have a long-running request, (more than the sessionTimeout) and you want to get the session at the end of the request, you get an error like `twisted.internet.error.AlreadyCalled: Tried to cancel an already-called event.` The possibilities for fixing this (as described by Exarkun): 1. You get back the same Session object as you had before, but with its lifetime extended as though you've just `touch()`'d it. 2. You get back a new Session object but with the same uid as the one you had before with a life time of `sessionTimeout` starting at the point of the `getSession` call. 3. You get back a new Session object with a different uid - basically a whole new session, as if the previous one never existed. Check the PR for the reason why you want Option 2 or 3. Right now, we are on course of implementing Option 1. If you think that Option 1 is wrong, please leave your feedback over the PR :) Thanks, -- Adi Roiban
