I tried from bokeh.plotting and from [bokeh.io](http://bokeh.io)  
and neither of them can work.

I got error:

Import Error:cannot import name cursession

I want to use cursession.store\_objects(plot)

Possibly in older docs? e.g. [http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.10.0/docs/user\_guide/server.html#streaming-data-with-the-server](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/0.10.0/docs/user_guide/server.html#streaming-data-with-the-server)

Qiwei, this is the most recent documentation on how to do things that previously had to be done using cursession():

[http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user\_guide/server.html#building-bokeh-applications](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/server.html#building-bokeh-applications)

Hopefully this is helpful?
