Keep object along a session.

[Serena]

Regards.

I need to create an object when a user connects to the system. and the object must manternerce alive until the user disconnects. This object is unique for each user connected to the system.

This object can not be serialized and changes its state throughout his life.

This object should be visible only from django, ie, only the server side.

I have read and all I've found is serialized and stored in session. but. thus, it does not work for me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

in the runserver environment, each request is served by the same instance, so whatever object you create and leave referenced somehow (good luck on that) will stay alive until runserver is running. However, as soon as you move to a production environment, be it Apache's mod_python, gunicorn or whatever, the Python instance that served your first request may be dead by the time you issue your second one. And it gots worse when you begin to scale your application to multiple machines.

Why is that object not serializable? Is there really no way to make it so, or store it's data to either the session, on the disk or to a key-value store like Redis?

Best,
Gergely
