Subclass django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware, overriding process_request. Determine whether you should or should not initiate a session from the request object, and if you should, call the super class's process_request method. Replace django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware in settings.MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES with your replacement one. Simples.
