If you are using psp only (not combined with publisher), then all you need to do is access "session" attribute from a page and the session object will be automatically created for you. The session object will also be automatically saved for you after page has rendered. This is mentioned in the documentation: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-psp.html Additionally, the PSP code will be given global variables req, psp, session and form. A session will be created and assigned to session variable only if session is referenced in the code (the PSP handler examines co_names of the code object to make that determination). Remember that a mere mention of session will generate cookies and turn on session locking, which may or may not be what you want. Similarly, a mod_python FieldStorage object will be instantiated if form is referenced in the code. If you were aware of this, what is the actual problem you are having? Graham
