Using Python Social-auth how to retrieve fields stored in session from custom pipeline

My app uses python social-auth for login as well as allowing accounts to "connect". With that in mind I have a custom pipeline as follows:

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
'jdconnections.utils.get_username', #<<here
'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email', 
'social.pipeline.user.create_user',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
'social.pipeline.user.user_details'
)

I also have set:

SOCIAL_AUTH_FIELDS_STORED_IN_SESSION = ['connection',]

In my app view I call social-auth as follows e.g for twitter:

  return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('social:begin', args=('twitter',)) + "?connection=" + request.POST.get('origin') )

This works fine and I head out to twitter and the auth is completed, but when I get back to my custom pipeline util I cannot retrieve the session value, this is what I am doing:

from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.sessions.backends.db import SessionStore
from jdconnections.models import Connections

from social.pipeline.user import get_username as social_get_username

def get_username(strategy, details, user=None, *args, **kwargs):

   current_session = SessionStore()
   if 'connection' not in current_session:
      result = social_get_username(strategy, details, user=user, *args, **kwargs)   
      return result
   else:
    if current_session['connection'] == 'TW':
        social = user.social_auth.get(provider='twitter')
        access_token = social.extra_data['access_token']
        cn = Connections.objects.create(origin='TW',ctoken = access_token)
    return None

Using PDB and also django debug toolbar I can see the value is there, what's wrong with this code that it does not retrieve it? Thanks for any help!

According to the docs, the proper way to retrieve the data is:

strategy.session_get('connection')

Perhaps this helps?
