I'd say "don't use it". The source is several years old and filed under
the FIXME worg directory.
header-arg handling has improved lately.
See (info "(org) Header arguments in Org mode properties") for a good
appproach that uses this one line
#+PROPERTY: header-args:python :session foo
to do what is in the example you cite.
