SessionStore

✓ from redis_sessions.session import SessionStore

✗ from redis_sessions.session import SessionStore

Configure Django to use Redis sessions by setting SESSION_ENGINE and optionally SESSION_REDIS dict. Ensure redis is running.

# In settings.py SESSION_ENGINE = 'redis_sessions.session' # Optional Redis connection settings (use env vars for secrets) SESSION_REDIS = { 'host': os.environ.get('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'), 'port': 6379, 'db': 0, 'password': os.environ.get('REDIS_PASSWORD', ''), 'prefix': 'session', 'socket_timeout': 1 }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaSESSION_REDIS must be a dict, not a string. If you set SESSION_REDIS as a Redis URL string (e.g., 'redis://...'), it will be ignored silently and fall back to defaults.

fix

Use dict format: SESSION_REDIS = {'host': ..., 'port': ..., ...}

affects: all

deprecatedDjango versions 4.x and later removed the PREFERRED_SESSION_COOKIE_SALT setting; if using combined with sessions_cached_db, be aware of changes in session backend.

fix

For Django 4+, ensure you have no deprecated settings; test session behavior.

affects: 0.6.x

gotchaThe prefix option in SESSION_REDIS does not support nested keys; if you use colons in prefix (e.g., 'project:session'), it will be treated as literal. May cause namespace collisions.

fix

Use simple prefix without colons or use a separate Redis db.

affects: all

breakingIn version 0.6, the configuration changed from separate settings (SESSION_REDIS_HOST, etc.) to a single SESSION_REDIS dict. Old settings are not automatically migrated.

fix

Replace SESSION_REDIS_HOST, SESSION_REDIS_PORT, etc. with SESSION_REDIS = {'host': ..., 'port': ...}

affects: 0.5.x to 0.6
