Hi All,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm relatively new to
Python programming and to Django, so I'd appreciate any help that you
all have to offer.
I'm writing a function that takes in a username and password via a
SOAP method (this all works well), authenticates the user, logs them
in, and then returns to them the session id (i.e. the pk of the
Session model) so they can use it in subsequent requests. Here's what
I've noticed:
def loginAndGetSession(username, password):
user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
sid = soap.request.session.session_key
login(soap.request, user)
s = Session.objects.get(pk=soap.request.session.session_key)
return s.session_key
else:
return 'BADAUTH'
Note the statement that sets "sid" equal to the session_key stored in
the request; if I remove that, the call to get the Session object by
its pk fails with a "Session matching query does not exist" error.
With the statement, everything evaluates correctly. If I try to do:
s = Session.objects.get(pk=sid)
that also fails.
It seems like I need to reference the session_key variable before I
can use it. Can anybody explain why?
Thanks a bunch,
Dan
