The concept of "session" is not directly supported by HTTP, though many
packages add support for sessions by using cookies or other means. Many
web frameworks provide session support (e.g. CherryPy, Twisted, and
probably just about any other one for that matter) but I don't think
you'll find it in the standard library modules, which were not intended
for real production use in any but the simplest applications.
