[mod_python] pass variables between functions.

[+ mod_python]

I've tested your code.  It works fine the way you have it (add an
output statement to def test)....

Everytime http://path/to/your/site/test is called, x is reset to 1
Each time http://path/to/your/site/add is called, x is incremented.
