Django: Quick snippet to get user from session ID

This is pretty much a drop-and-go snippet.

view sourceprint?

01.def get_user_from_session(session_key):

02.  from django.contrib.sessions.models import Session

03.  from django.contrib.auth.models import User

04. 

05.  session = Session.objects.get(session_key = session_key)

06.  uid = session.get_decoded().get('_auth_user_id')

07.  return User.objects.get(pk = uid)

08. 

09.user = get_user_from_session('6117e4e8882448931b3de1f2440243ff')

10.print user.username, user.get_full_name(), user.email

That's it!

Now, back to being productive...
