Q: 

Session based method to track online users in django

Hello guys,

apparently, the recommended way to get the number of online users in django is via what's suggested on this link:

http://magicpc.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/get-online-users-in-django/

Yet, many users just like to browse my website, and I want to count them in the online users. Is it possible to do it by sessions or something like that? Following the link, this means I'd have to add an update for each pageview, which does not seem very reasonable... and I would also like to track the ammount of visitors online.

Thank you very much!
