Accessing django session from decorator

I have a decorator that I use for my @valid_session views

from django.http import Http404

def valid_session(the_func):
"""
function to check if the user has a valid session
"""
def _decorated(*args, **kwargs):        
    if ## check if username is in the request.session:
        raise Http404('not logged in.')
    else:
        return the_func(*args, **kwargs)
return _decorated

I would like to access my session in my decoartor. When the user is logged in, I put the username in my session.

Would something like the following solve your problem:



def valid_session(func):
    def decorated(request, *args, **kwargs):
        print request.session
        return func(request, *args, **kwargs)
    return decorated

The view function takes a request as its first parameter, so the decorator will receive it as its first parameter. You can only take the session out of it with request.session.

You can pass the request (or just the session) as a parameter to the decorator . I just don't know how to get to it in order to transfer it. I was trying to figure out something similar last night.
