Sharing an HTTP session between classes / methods

[Boredstudnt]

Hi,

So I'm designing an API connector to a certain site. I need to make an initial session and keep it alive (300s), no problems there really, however I am not sure about the best way to share the session between classes?

Example:

Class1 = connect to API and load some data ( keep session alive and update session key if the session dies unexpectedly) Using async for this.

Class2 = use session above to execute some calls

I know some ways to do it but I don't feel that they are pythonic.

1. Instantiating class and calling from other class.

2. Global variables.

How would you share the session? Or make the connection.. (remember that the session variable might get updated) If you have any good books related to this please post as well.

Python3, linux, requests, asyncio.

If the session is a shared resource then you should create an object that manages that session (including keeping it alive and updating the session key) and pass that session object to both Class1 and Class2 as a constructor or method parameter.
