Django, how to see session data in the admin interface

Question

I\'m using Django sessions and I would like a way of seeing the session data in the admin interface. Is this possible?

I.e. for each session I want to see the data store

Answer 1

You can do something like this:

from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session
class SessionAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    def _session_data(self, obj):
        return obj.get_decoded()
    list_display = ['session_key', '_session_data', 'expire_date']
admin.site.register(Session, SessionAdmin)

It might be even that get_decoded can be used directly in list_display. And in case there's some catch that prevents this from working ok, you can decode the session data yourself, based on the linked Django source.
