[mod_python] Sessions again...

Ok, Jim, I'll clarify the problem:
Both scripts initiate their sessions the same way and with the same name:

Script nr.1:

    s= Session.Session(req)
    if s.is_new():
       s['items'] = {}

Script nr.2:

    s= Session.Session(req)
    if s.is_new():
       s['counter'] = 0

I did it this way because I asume that for using both scripts in the same 
site, I should have only one session started.
(Note that I also tried starting different sessions for each script, with 
different names, but the problem persists).

Actually, I already fixed this problem (with a wacky work-around though...).
In each script, I created the session variable corresponding to the other 
script, as follows:

Script nr.1:

    s = Session.Session(req)
    if s.is_new():
        s['counter'] = 0
        s['items']= {} # workaround to avoid trouble with cart script

Script nr.2:

    s = Session.Session(req)
    if s.is_new():
        s['items']= {}
        s['counter'] = 0 # workaround to avoid trouble with recset script

Well, this fixed the problem in this case, but i don't think this woraround 
fits into mod_python's best practices...
