Temporary session directory

[John Barham]

I'd like to store per-session files so need a way to reliably create a
per-session temp directory.  Is it reasonable to use the
session.session_key to generate a unique name?

Also, is there a way to have Django automatically run some code to
cleanup my session once it has expired?  Or do I have to resort to
cron?  (I'm using the file-based session backend.)

Thanks,

  John

Thanks for the confirmation.  In that case I'll have to write my own
render_to_response() wrapper.

(Sorry, I meant to say RequestContext instead of RequestInstance.)

Yes, I'd read about RequestContext but from what I understand you have
to pass it explicitly to render_to_response().  Is that the case?

Displaying username on every page

[John Barham]

Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ but I've searched the list and
can't find a precise answer.

I want to display the login status of the user at the top of every
page.  If they were logged in, it should say something like "Logged is
as  (Log Out)" and if they're not logged in it should show a
link to the login page.

I could of course pass in the username as a dictionary value for each
page, but this quickly becomes tedious.  I also use render_to_response
a lot and if I understand correctly it doesn't pass through the user
info automatically, but will if you set the context_instance parameter
to a RequestInstance.  Is there a way I can access the user info from
any page without having to do the above?
