Django Session Timeout

In your Django projects, you can check each request and response transaction with the middleware to log in again or provide information according to the session's timeout, and log out if the transaction has not been completed for more than the specified time.

/projectfolder/application/middleware.py
import time

from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth import logout
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _

SESSION_TIME_TIME_DURATION = 10

class SessionTimeoutControl:

def __init__(self, get_response):
self.get_response = get_response

def __call__(self, request):

if request.user.is_authenticated:
current_time = int(time.time())

try:
request.session['last_activity']
except:
request.session['last_activity'] = current_time

if (current_time - request.session['last_activity']) >= SESSION_TIME_DURATION:
logout(request)
messages.add_message(request, messages.ERROR, _('Your session has timed out!'))

else:
request.session['last_activity'] = current_time

response = self.get_response(request)
return response
