This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
Django includes excellent built-in sessions, however all the data is hidden away into a base64 encoded data string. This makes it very difficult to run a query on all active sessions for a particular user. Django User Sessions fixes this and makes session objects just as queryable as other objects.
To get the list of a user’s sessions:
user.session_set.filter(expire_date__gt=now())
Or logout the user everywhere:
user.session_set.all().delete()
The user’s IP address and user agent are also stored on the session. This allows to show a list of active sessions to the user in the admin:
And also in a custom layout:
Installation
pip install django-user-sessions
In INSTALLED_APPS replace 'django.contrib.sessions' with 'user_sessions'.
In MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES replace 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware' with 'user_sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'.
Add SESSION_ENGINE = 'user_sessions.backends.db'.
Run python manage.py syncdb and start hacking!
GeoIP
You need to setup GeoIP for the location detection to work. See the Django documentation on installing GeoIP.
Demo application
Also, have a look at the demo application. It includes template examples and shows how to use the session list and delete views.
Compatibility
Tested on Django 1.6 with Python 2.7 and 3.3. However it should work fine on Django 1.4 and above.
