session variable

[Seth Buntin]

Can I have a list as a session variable?

I want to add potential products to a session list and if an order is
placed iterate over that list and add them to an order.

Or are there better ways to do this?

Thanks.

The session object is a dictionary-look-alike. It's available through
request.session.
See <http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/sessions/>

So I can have for instance:

request.session["order_items"] = []

and then in different view I can have:

request.session["order_items"].append(1)

and that append to the session variable?

yes, but the session itself doesn't know that you modified it, so you
will have to save it yourself, see
