Redis database backend for your sessions

1. Run pip install django-redis-sessions or alternatively download the tarball and run python setup.py install,

For Django < 1.4 run pip install django-redis-sessions==0.3

2. Set redis_sessions.session as your session engine, like so:

   SESSION_ENGINE = 'redis_sessions.session'
   

3. Optional settings:

   SESSION_REDIS_HOST = 'localhost'
   SESSION_REDIS_PORT = 6379
   SESSION_REDIS_DB = 0
   SESSION_REDIS_PASSWORD = 'password'
   SESSION_REDIS_PREFIX = 'session'
   
   # If you prefer domain socket connection, you can just add this line instead of SESSION_REDIS_HOST and SESSION_REDIS_PORT.
   
   SESSION_REDIS_UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKET_PATH = '/var/run/redis/redis.sock'
   

4. That's it:

See: django-redis-sessions on pypi

5. Tests:

   $ pip install django nose redis
   # Make sure you have redis running on localhost:6379
   $ nosetests
