[mod_python] ValueError: Failed to acquire global mutex lock

Kind of. What I do is the followoing

try:
    from mod_python.Session import Session as DefaultSessionCall
except:
    def DefaultSessionCall( r ):
       return None

, this is a peice of code I use to make configurable the Session class the user wants to use. I also then try to call a setter method on a user's class to pass the session he works on. How should I use the session? The locking mechanism is needed for read/write or just write? I think I may write a session wrapper class to lock unlock on user call to get/set properties..
