Your're right!

It appears to be fixed in 3.1.3; take out the session.unlock in the
example code and it still works.  

I had upgraded my mod_python when 3.1.3 was released but omitted to
check if this quirk had been fixed/modified, apologies for the mistake.

Lets hope for no weird side effects!

Thanks

Terry
