How to lookup django session for a particular user?

Question

I am writing an application where I will be accessing the database from django and from a stand alone application. Both need to do session verification and the session shoul

Answer 1

I found this code snippet

from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

session_key = '8cae76c505f15432b48c8292a7dd0e54'

session = Session.objects.get(session_key=session_key)
uid = session.get_decoded().get('_auth_user_id')
user = User.objects.get(pk=uid)

print user.username, user.get_full_name(), user.email

Have not verified it yet, but looks pretty straight forward.
