How to inplement Session in CGI

[Sullivan WxPyQtKinter]

Python disappointly failed to provide a convinient cgi session
management module. Not willing to use external modules, I would like to
implement a simplest Session object on my own.

The basic problem is: how could a python CGI program understand several
requests are in the same session? Definately, request from different IP
would be easy to identified to be in different sessions, but request
from the same IP would not.

Anyone has any idea?
Thank you

Probably because there are much better options for web programming in
Python ?

Just like anyone else: by setting a session cookie. This is not related
to CGI, it's just how HTTP works.

or google for python cgi session for more.
But why write it yourself if someone else has already done the work?

Maybe you could get over your irrational fear of external modules just
long enough to download one or two and examine them, to learn how they
do it. Then you could answer your own question...

Really? Then what is it?

Please notice the 's' at the end of 'options'. For a quick and
