title: How do I set session variables at login using django-registration and auth?
body: <p>I'm using django-registration to log users into my application.  That part works fine.  The part that I cannot figure out is how to set custom session variables when the user logs in.  For instance, I'd like to populate variables containing UserProfile data as well as the output of a few other functions.  Then I'd be able to use that information in subsequent views/templates.  </p>
  
  <p>If anybody can point me to a tutorial online or post some sample code, that would be great.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm using django 1.1 and Python 2.6</p>
