"""Session object for building, serializing, sending, and receiving messages in
IPython. The Session object supports serialization, HMAC signatures, and
metadata on messages.

Also defined here are utilities for working with Sessions:
* A SessionFactory to be used as a base class for configurables that work with
Sessions.
* A Message object for convenience that allows attribute-access to the msg dict.

    The Session object handles building messages and sending them

    dict-based IPython message spec. The Session will handle 
    serialization/deserialization, security, and metadata.
    
    Sessions support configurable serialiization via packer/unpacker traits,
