You can't, there's no active session there, sessions are per request. 
What is the active request in config.py?  There is none.

Most frameworks do this by putting session data in a database and
querying that.  So you could either write a DB session backend and do
that, or you could use os.stat on the session files generated by the
existing FS-based backend to get the mtimes.
