As far as I remember SQLSession pickles all cookies so you can store
nearly any arbitrary python object, including instances. FSSession
marshals data which is faster than pickle but it cannot store complex
objects. However you can still store any combination of basic python
objects since they are marshalable, for instance:

['one',1,['two',2.0],{'three':(3.1,)}] 
is ok. For more info on marshalable/picklable objects check the python
lib doc.
