Ok thanks, I really wanted to use a session variable, I know there are
other way to pass values to a template.
Typically I want to store user data in a session and then use it
directly in the template.
So the solution was :
in my view, add a RequestContext object to the render_to_response
method.
return render_to_response('index.html', context_instance=RequestContext
(request))
in my settings.py, add to the default template context processors,
this one :
'django.core.context_processors.request'
as a result :
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.core.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.request',
)
