[mod_python] Lost Session

I followed Jim's suggestion to see if the pysid cookie for the requests are 
the same and they are not. Do you have any other tips for debugging this? I 
am calling the save function before I start writing a response to the 
browser (I know there can be some conflict in saving a session if something 
has already been written to the browser since the pysid cookie can no longer 
be set).
