I am a newbie to Woven, but I just used the session like this and it
seemed to work fine. Just like in asp you can use it to store you own
data, but instead of being limitited to primitive datatypes like in
ASP you use your own classes like in the example below.

... Some Page derived class
    def getChild(self, postpath, request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            session = request.getSession()
            session.user = User(request.args['user'][0],
                                request.args['password'][0])
            session.user.logIn()
            if session.user.isLoggedIn():
                return Redirect('../projectorder')
....
