My feelings are 2-fold:

1. I don't think session management is strictly part of mod_python as an apache handler, but rather as a utility module that can be used in conjunction with it. In that sense, I don't think it needs its own directive.

2. I'd rather see more time spent on outstanding release issues :)

I know we've decided on using PythonOption session_* instead, but looking at http://www.apachetutor.org/dev/config under the "Scope of Configuration" it looks like it may not be that hard to restrict the use of PythonSessionOption in a .htaccess file.

Is it worth persuing? Now is the time to do it. If we change it later it means everyone will need to refactor their config files and any subclasses of BaseSession.
