 class Session(Configurable):
     """Object for handling serialization and sending of messages.
     
     The Session object handles building messages and sending them
     with ZMQ sockets or ZMQStream objects.  Objects can communicate with each
     other over the network via Session objects, and only need to work with the
     dict-based IPython message spec. The Session will handle 
     serialization/deserialization, security, and metadata.
     
     Sessions support configurable serialiization via packer/unpacker traits,
     and signing with HMAC digests via the key/keyfile traits.

     ----------
     
     debug : bool
         whether to trigger extra debugging statements
     packer/unpacker : str : 'json', 'pickle' or import_string
         importstrings for methods to serialize message parts.  If just
         'json' or 'pickle', predefined JSON and pickle packers will be used.
         Otherwise, the entire importstring must be used.
         
         The functions must accept at least valid JSON input, and output *bytes*.
         
         For example, to use msgpack:
         packer = 'msgpack.packb', unpacker='msgpack.unpackb'
     pack/unpack : callables
         You can also set the pack/unpack callables for serialization directly.
     session : bytes
         the ID of this Session object.  The default is to generate a new UUID.
     username : unicode
         username added to message headers.  The default is to ask the OS.
     key : bytes
         The key used to initialize an HMAC signature.  If unset, messages
         will not be signed or checked.
     keyfile : filepath
         The file containing a key.  If this is set, `key` will be initialized
         to the contents of the file.
