I'm adding data into array but, it's end up with only the last item in the array. It seems to overwrite

Question

request.session['list'] = []
if request.method =='POST':    
  newrecord = request.POST['market']
  tmp = request.session['list']
  tmp.append(newrecord)
  request.session['market_list'] = tmp

I turn out that previous data was overwrite by the new one

Answer 1

You are assigning an empty list to request.session['list'] in the first line of the code snippet you have given. Is this by design? In that case it is no surprise that tmp always ends up with one element only.

Answer 2

change request.session['list'] = [] to

if not request.session.has_key('list'):     
  request.session['list'] = []
