By default Sessions are only stored but not deleted after they are expired. There seems to be only a predefined servlet in Java.

For Python I found the Project gae-sessions which offers also a simlar functionality like in Java. You have to define a cron job that calls some cleanup routine.

Cronjob:

cron:
- description: daily session cleanup
  url: /cleanup_sessions
  schedule: every 24 hours

Cleanup routine:

from gaesessions import delete_expired_sessions
while not delete_expired_sessions():
    pass
