[Flask] Issues with Flash_session - Cannot add dict item ..

[Ben Duncan]

Doing a dir on the Session defined in flask-session shows everything loaded.
I'm not sure, but I did this in the view after all the session stuff:

session{'status': 'GOOD'}

And another dir after this show the original stuff in there with a bunch of
new classes added.
Could be that a user dictionary isn't established unless you initiate it ...

I'd send the code samples, but alas OUR IT department has screwed up my
local connection to our VM's.... sigh ...
