Answer 1

One approach is to put the object into a session in your first view, which you could then retrieve from the request.session in the second view.

def first_view(request):
    my_thing = {'foo' : 'bar'}
    request.session['my_thing'] = my_thing
    return render(request, 'some_template.html')

def second_view(request):
    my_thing = request.session.get('my_thing', None)
    return render(request, 'some_other_template.html', {'my_thing' : my_thing})
