from the docs (http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/http/sessions/#when-sessions-are-saved): # Gotcha: Session is NOT modified, because this alters # request.session['foo'] instead of request.session. request.session['foo']['bar'] = 'baz' In the last case of the above example, we can tell the session object explicitly that it has been modified by setting the modified attribute on the session object: request.session.modified = True that's exactly your case. the session object is saved automatically only when it's marked as modified. but when you modify an object inside the session and not the session itself; it doesn't gets notified of the change, so you have to tell it explicitly. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
