[mod_python] Session example and problems.

def GetSid(req, sid=""):
  sess = Session(req);
  if sess.is_new():
    sess['u']="user";
    sess['p']="password";
    sid = sess.id();
    sess.save;
  else:
    sid = sess.id();
  req.write("%s" % sid);
  return;

# list mailboxes
def UseSession(req, sid=""):
  req.write("%s" % sid);
  sess = Session(req, sid, None, 1800, 0);
  if sess.is_new():
    req.write("<br/>session new<br/>");
    sid = sess.id();
  else:
    sess.load();
  req.write("%s" % sid);

I first call the GetSid from my javascript and I am using
XmlHttpRequest that gets the sid from the responseText.
Then I call UseSession function with the sid passed to it
through the javascript, and I print the sid to make sure the
correct id was passed and that works, but after the Session()
is ran it always creates a new session, 
I am not sure why... I used this link
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-January/017111.html
as an example to follow...

Any ideas?
Thanks.
