In my opinion, best way would be using shared memory if possible. I'm not
good at Apache & python, but I found that mod_auth_digest in Apache 2.0
supports session caching accross processes using shared memory (New
Features in Apache 2.0 page). 

A general dictionary variable per main interpreter. So handler can
register it's own variable within dictionary variable with a key, that
could be used in session handling, caching small tables (DBMS data)...
