You can do this without adapters. Look at the Session class in the
twisted/web/server.py file. In the class __init__ (line #400 in v.1.2.0)
there's this cute "sessionNamespaces" empty dict attribute that is not
referenced anywhere else in the Twisted code. Put this somewhere:

sessNS = request.getSession().sessionNamespaces
sessNS['someKey'] = something

and somewhere else:

sessNS = request.getSession().sessionNamespaces
something = sessNS['someKey']

Works like a charm. :^)

Now, if we could change those session timeouts, that would be something. ;^)
