I don't have any skin in this game, but FTR, Mike Bayer isn't feeling all that confident about Beaker's sessioning component (or so he has told me). Beaker was originally made as a caching component, and had sessioning jammed into it quite late; nobody is really maintaining the sessioning component of it now.
Well, if I can choose between modern unmaintained code from Mike Bayer and stone-age unmaintained code from Zope, it's still an easy choice ;-)
You might want to talk to Wiggy about that. He has a lot of experience with Beaker.
And looking at the basics of what Beaker does here, it's still much more useful and of better quality than what we have in Zope 2.
If there's any other non-framework-specific session machinery out there, we could use that as well. But I think most other stuff is tied into Django.
Our attempt at penance (still framework specific) is here: http://agendaless.com/Members/tseaver/software/faster/faster-0.5.1/README.tx... I don't know of any other sessioning libraries. - C
