What version of mod_python are you using?

There are examples in the mailing list archives, which can be searched from
search box on mod_python web site.

Not really, mostly internal to mod_python unless you have mod_python 3.3.0b
where session management can be better integrated with Apache authentication
handler phase.

You don't need to know about global mutex, it is just an implementation
artefact. An MPM is the Apache process/threading model used. See:

The MPMs you will most like encounter are 'prefork', 'worker' and 'winnt'.
