Session('cart') = Array('item1', 'item2')
Dim uid : uid = Session('user_id')
Session Properties
Session.SessionID - unique numeric ID
Session.Timeout = 20 - idle timeout in minutes
Session.Abandon - destroys session
ASPPY Specifics
In-memory storage (lost on server restart)
ASP_PY_SESSIONID cookie tracks session
