The short answer is that, out of the box, the ModPythonPublisher is not
session aware and so you will either have to modify
mod_python_publisher.py or (a better solution) copy it and make the
modifications there.  The simplest case is to just change it to derive
from SessionPublisher rather than Publisher, but that will leave Quixote
managing sessions.  Otherwise, you will have to write a session manager
that uses mod_python to manage the sessions.  It shouldn't be difficult,
it just hasn't been done.  I've been meaning to do it myself, but have
been otherwise occupied.
