Customizing session id strings?

[Roy Smith]

We're using django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache.  We use mongodb for our datastore, so we don't use the django model/database support at all.

The standard django session machinery generates 32-character hex strings (128 bits) for session ids.  We store the session_id in many places in our database (and index many collections on it), so shorter ids would be a big win.  Mongo uses 96-bits for its object ids.  I figure we don't need any more than that.  Base-64 encoding gives 16 characters.

So, the question is, is there any hook to allow us to generate our own session_ids for django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache to use?  I'm tempted to just subclass sessions.backends.cache and override _get_new_session_key(), but overriding underscore-prepended things sounds a little funky.

BTW, looking at base.py, why does it go to all the weird md5/pid/time stuff?  Why not just call uuid() and be done with it?
