How to use upwork client with Django?

[rajasimon]

HI

I'm developing the application with Django framework. As you know that Django is not keeping the client instance across request. I can't find the way to make it work.

def access(request):
    client = upwork.Client(public_key, secret_key)
    url = client.auth.get_authorize_url()
    return HttpResponseRedirect(url)

def authorize(request):
    oauth_verifier = request.GET.get('oauth_verifier')
    oauth_access_token, oauth_access_token_secret = \
        client.auth.get_access_token(oauth_verifier)

Though this is not working because again I need to call the get_authorize_url. I don't like this behaviour because I wanted to use client instance wherever in the Django environment. Is there any way I can make it work with across request. Like Reddit Praw they have multi instance.

Please point me in the right direction...

@nishuk0007 No. Can you How you did ?

[nishuk0007]

@rajasimon I serialize client object and store for a current loggedin user in DB. and when needed I deserialize it and use it.
