Thanks for responding, I should have mentioned previously that I did
try putting 'SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST=True' in my settings file but
that didn't work. Now that I read your e-mail, I also tried setting
request.session.modified = True right after my append but that didn't
work either.
I meant to reply to the list a while ago to tell my work around but I
forgot, I guess now is as good a time as any...
I ended up just using a string that I concatenate the new values to in
a comma separated list:
request.session['questions_asked'] += ','+str(question.id)
(obviously you would have to initialize it for the first question)
Then to convert that string to an actual list I do the following:
for item in csv.reader([request.session['questions_asked']]):
question_list = item
I tried doing just: csv.reader([request.session['questions_asked']])
[0] but it's not a real list and in the interpreter, I get: TypeError:
unsubscriptable object. So if anyone knows of a cleaner, more pythonic
way, I'm all ears. (Because I'm guessing it's not very pythonic)
So that's how I'm getting around it for now, I'd love to hear anyone
else's thoughts on the subject.
