Hi Ken,
The problem with using Session is that the data will still be there when
you finish your “wizard". You have to manually delete it. It is state,
which is not good. Each request to your server should be an decoupled
operation. It’s ok to store in Session global state, like the current
language or user data, but I would not save something that belongs to a
“wizard”. What happens next time the same user runs the wizard? You have to
worry about that and makes your code complex.
You can encode the data form form1 view in the query string you redirect to
form2. It might be tricky since we are talking about formsets. You can use
urllib.urlencode, you pass a dict:
url = reverse('form2')
querystring = urllib.urlencode({ ... })
return HttpResponseRedirect('%s?%s' % (url, querystring))
Then in your form2 view you get the data from request.GET
key1 = request.GET[ ... ]
