Notes specific to Version 3.3
The use of PythonOption increased in 3.2 to control the runtime configuration of mod_python. It quickly became apparent that the potential for key conflicts with user code was rather high, so for 3.3 we adopted a new PythonOption namespace.
Thus the PythonOption session entries in the <Directory> elements of httpd.conf has been deprecated in favour of PythonOption mod_python.session.session_type
Where session_type remains the same File, Memory, Dbm types.
<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ExampleSession>
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonOption mod_python.session.MemorySession
</Directory>
