S3Sessions: S3 Based Backend for CherryPy Sessions

S3Sessions is a substitute for CherryPy's built-in file backed sessions, based on the internal CherryPy FileSession backend.

Please note that using S3 for session management can come with performance hits, but places the session files in a highly available and persistent location.

Thanks to the developers of CherryPy and LmdbSession.
