title: Django and Session Status Messages
body: <p>I need to have a status message that is set while processing an initial request appear after a redirect occurs.  A pretty normal thing to need to do but I'm unclear how to use the session object to do this in Django.  I know there's a plugin someone made: <a href="https://github.com/danielfm/django-flash/wiki" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/danielfm/django-flash/wiki</a></p>
  
  <p>Is that the recommended way of handling this situation in Django or can something simpler be done with the default install of Django?</p>
