Hi, In the session module in backends/base.py _get_new_session_key creates a random string - the session_key which is sent to the user as a session_cookie.
The encode function takes the session_dict pickle it and hash it with md5(pickle + secretKey) The encoded result is saved to the database. What is the purpose of the encode function? The user only gets the session_key which is unrelated to the session_dict.
