[mod_python] mod_python.Importer.path; set dynamically

Graham,

As you might remember I added a MySQLdb section to session.
(to be able to save sessions across computers)

In my system a lot of additional data is added to the req object, which is passed
around. in my case it is req.Session.user.

(I do not use http based auth, since this is in conflict with my web based desktop)

nevertheless, i can change your "example code" to my needs, consider req.user as the distinguisher for ease of thinking.

What is the distinguisher used to know which developer it is? Are you
using something like Basic authentication and so could distinguish
based on req.user?

If you tell me what the distinguisher is, probably have an idea.
