app = Flask(__name__)

app.config['MONGODB_HOST'] = '127.0.0.1'
app.config['MONGODB_PORT'] = 27017
app.config['MONGODB_DATABASE'] = 'session_test_db'
mosession = MoSessionExtension(app)


@app.route("/")
def hello():
    if 'first_visit' not in session:
        session['first_visit'] = datetime.now()

    return 'Hi dear, your first visit was on ' + str(session['first_visit'])


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
