How can I set and get session variable in django?

Question

I need to set a variable on session, when a user login happens. How can I do this?

if request.user.is_authenticated():
profile = request.user.get_profile()
request.session['idempresa'] = profile.idempresa

My other question is in a form:

class PedidoItensForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
    model = ItensPedido

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    profile = kwargs.pop('vUserProfile', None)
    super(PedidoItensForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

How can I get the "idempresa" value of session, to use in my queryset?

Answer 1

For setting session variable:

request.session['idempresa'] = profile.idempresa

For getting session Data:

if 'idempresa' in request.session:
    idempresa = request.session['idempresa']
