[mod_python] Persistant data

In the interest of keeping it simple, I suggest you store your 
persistent data using anydbm and use synchronization techniques (i.e. 
rename) to ensure that two processes don't try to write to the database 
simultaneously (mid-air collision).  Other techniques just give you more 
code complexity and not much added benefit.

This is pretty much exactly what the new session code in 3.1.2b does.
