[mod_python] Another sessions problem...

Changed the code to look like this:

if req.session.is_new():
        req.session.save()
      return "Session is new: "+req.session.id()
else:
        ...

But still doesn't work... :-/

I think you are missing the point, even when a session is new, it must be saved, else when cookie comes back on next request it will not know about it and create yet another new one. This will keep on going. Just try saving it and see if it works.
