Will this make changes to "request", in Django?

Question

# in views.py def start(request): initial_dictionary = {"abc":"abc"} request.session['123'] = "xyz" return initial_dictionary def post(request): dictionary = start(request) return render_to_response("blah")

This is OOP. Will this make changes to "request", and will the session be set? (request is passed as a pointer)

No, it's passed as a reference, not a pointer.

Are you sure in this case, it's passed as a reference?

Well, yes, because Python doesn't have pointers.

The session object comes from the HttpRequest, so if that's what gets passed into the function as request then what you have should work.
