Only one session object should be created for a request. The
convention you should follow everywhere if mixing publisher and PSP,
or if calling common routines which also want to fiddle session stuff
is:

  if not hasattr(req, 'session'):
    req.session = Session.Session(req)

and then use req.session. This is what PSP does, presuming you aren't
using obsolete mod_python version. If you are using old mod_python
version, ensure you upgrade to mod_python 3.3.1.

BTW, why do you only want to use mod_python when there are lots of
options available for this today, many arguably a lot better than
mod_python?
