For mod_python.psp, you are actually doing more work here than you
strictly need to and why I asked original poster if they were intending
to use add ons like mod_python.psp.

When using mod_python.psp, the mere act of accessing a variable
called "session" will result in the creation by mod_python.psp itself
of a Session object for you. The underlying mod_python.psp code will
also save the session object for you once your page is done.

You may have had a problem with your example code because it didn't
appear to do a save of the session. Other than that it may well have
worked, but you could have avoided creating the session object in the
first place.

Hope this helps.
