persist settings per logged in user in a controller

[dominiquevocat]

I would like to persist a few variables per user for usage in a controller

I tried to add a key to the cherrypy.session['user'] but this seems to be forked every time

Is there a way to add something to the user session via python? What object should i use? Or do i need to maintain a file for persistance (with all associated problems)?

I ended up keeping it on the javascript side (browser) and passing it to the controller - example: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3573/
