It integrates directly into Django's session framework by setting SESSION_ENGINE to 'redis_sessions.session', then configuring connection details via SESSION_REDIS settings. The package supports standard host/port connections, unix domain sockets, Redis Sentinel for high availability, and horizontal partitioning across multiple Redis instances via a pool configuration.\n\nThe package depends only on redis and installs as a pure Python wheel with low friction. It has been stable since its early releases but is now dormant\u2014the last release was in January 2021 and the repository shows no recent commits. While it still receives moderate downloads and carries permissive BSD licensing, its age means you should verify it works with your current Django version and consider whether an actively maintained alternative better suits your needs.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on a stable Django version and need Redis-backed sessions\u2014the package is simple, permissively licensed, and has a track record. However, verify compatibility with your Django release first, and consider whether an actively maintained alternative is available, since this package has not been updated since January 2021."},"id":"django-redis-sessions","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-redis-sessions","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-redis-sessions.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-redis-sessions/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-01-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-redis-sessions","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Redis Session Backend For Django"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":117928,"position":12142,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
