How do I delete a session key in Django after it is used once?

Question

I have two views.

view1 passes an error message to view2 through a session key.

How do I delete the key after view2 is rendered? I only need it for once:

Answer 1

You can delete the key from the session like any other dictionary.

del request.session['your key']

You may need to mark the session as modified for it to save, depending on some of your settings.

request.session.modified = True
