Django and Session Status Messages

Question

I need to have a status message that is set while processing an initial request appear after a redirect occurs. A pretty normal thing to need to do but I'm unclear how to use the session object to do this in Django. I know there's a plugin someone made: http://wiki.github.com/danielfm/django-flash

Is that the recommended way of handling this situation in Django or can something simpler be done with the default install of Django?

Answer 1

There is no standardized (in Django) method yet for session messages.

Here's a good discussion of the issues: Towards a Standard for Django Session Messages

Besides the django-flash project you already found there is a least one other one: django-notify.
