Project description

django-session-timeout

Add timestamp to sessions to expire them independently

Installation

pip install django-session-timeout

Usage

Update your settings to add the SessionTimeoutMiddleware:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = [
    # ...
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django_session_timeout.middleware.SessionTimeoutMiddleware',
    # ...
]

By default, last activiy will be grouped per second. To group by different period use the following setting:
