As someone who has used mod_python for a rather large project i have to 
agree with Grisha here. I don't want want all the state stuff in there on
project where I don't need it. mod_python gives me a platform where I can
people those things on top as I need them.

Also I don't think that you really need shared memory for session etc
since you can usually store that to a database, which gives you other
advantages. A decent database impl. should be fast enough to cope with
that kinda thing.

My 2c worth,
