Classes necessary for using in CDSware, as a complement of session, which adds persistence to sessions
by using a MySQL table. Consists of the following classes:
- SessionNotInDb: Exception to be raised when a session doesn't exit
- pSession(Session): Specialisation of the class Session which adds persistence to session
- pSessionMapping: Implements only the necessary methods to make it work with the session manager
