sessions.base_session.AbstractBaseSession

class base_session.AbstractBaseSession

The abstract base session model.

session_key

Primary key. The field itself may contain up to 40 characters. The current implementation generates a 32-character string (a random sequence of digits and lowercase ASCII letters).

session_data

A string containing an encoded and serialized session dictionary.

expire_date

A datetime designating when the session expires.

Expired sessions are not available to a user, however, they may still be stored in the database until the clearsessions management command is run.

classmethod get_session_store_class()

Returns a session store class to be used with this session model.

get_decoded()

Decoding is performed by the session store class.
