Tool to clean up expired sessions gracefully

Django Session Space Analysis Tool
==================================

This is a Django management command (as in
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/)
that cleans up expired sessions from the database.

Why?
----

Django ships with a built-in command to handle session cleanup, but it
is problematic when dealing with large session tables. Due to its
design, it can block writes to the session table for minutes at a time,
potentially disrupting sites that rely on sessions. This command is
designed to perform the same maintenance tasks as the built-in command
without disrupting a site by locking the table for a really long time.

Installation
------------

Install the distribution from PyPI, e.g. ``pip install
django-batch-session-cleanup``.

Then, add ``batch_sesion_cleanup`` to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django project.

That's it. You can now run django-admin.py and confirm that the command
shows up.

Example Uses
------------

Delete expired sessions in batches of no more than 50000, and sleep for
2 seconds in between batches:::

    django-admin.py batch-session-cleanup --batch-size=50000 --sleep-time=2

Known Issues and Bugs
---------------------

- The tool has only been tested thoroughly on a MyISAM MySQL table. I'm not aware of any reason that it wouldn't work on other SQL session backends, but you should be careful if you're using it in those environments.
