Using Alternate Session Factories
---------------------------------
-At the time of this writing, exactly one alternate session factory
-implementation exists, named ``pyramid_beaker``. This is a session factory
-that uses the `Beaker <http://beaker.groovie.org/>`_ library as a backend.
-Beaker has support for file-based sessions, database based sessions, and
-encrypted cookie-based sessions. See `the pyramid_beaker documentation

+
+The first is named ``pyramid_redis_sessions``. It can be downloaded from PyPI.
+It uses Redis as a backend. It is the recommended persistent session solution
