Working with Redis to store Session - Django

I have installed django-redis-session via pip and add this settings to the settings.py file:

SESSION_ENGINE = 'redis_sessions.session'

When I go to the terminal and type:

$ redis-cli monitor

I can see there are changes when I log in and log out (using python-social-auth).

My question is: How can I get the session (from redis) based on the user?

If I call is_authenticated() User's function it works, but my DB's (PostgreSQL) Session table has 0 rows.

Fianlly, is there any way to write the session key and data manually? I will need to use a complex PK for session based in two fields stored in redis.

You should be able to get the current session with request.session. This should work, whichever session backend you use, whether or not the user is logged in.

See the docs on using sessions in views for more info.
