Question

Is there any way to access sessions variables while overriding any models save method

class Blog(models.Model):
  name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
  tagline = models.TextField()

  def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    //Code for accessing session variable
    super(Blog, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Thanks,

not directly

you could add an extra argument to the save method and pop it off before calling the super save:

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    request = kwargs.pop('request')

view...:
    instance.save(request=request)

But
if you are saving a form it may be better to use

view...:
    instance = form.save(commit=False)
    # do some logic
    instance.save()
