[mod_python] Session management

Chris,

    Make "sess" be local to your handler function.  That function is called 
to handle one request. So, create the "sess" reference early in the 
function, do stuff with it to retrieve or update information, then make 
sure you do a "sess.save()" before the handler function exits.

cheers,

Ron
