Most reliable solution would only be the something you store when user logs in or logs out. I saw this solution and i think its worth sharing.

models.py

class LoggedUser(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, primary_key=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.user.username

    def login_user(sender, request, user, **kwargs):
        LoggedUser(user=user).save()

    def logout_user(sender, request, user, **kwargs):
        try:
            u = LoggedUser.objects.get(user=user)
            u.delete()
        except LoggedUser.DoesNotExist:
            pass

    user_logged_in.connect(login_user)
    user_logged_out.connect(logout_user)

views.py

logged_users = LoggedUser.objects.all().order_by('username')
