Hi Jim, Why not have a single 'PythonSessionCreate' option which contains the line of code that should be evaled to create the session ?
Example : PythonSessionCreate "Session.FileSession(session_directory='/var/lib/mod_python/sess',timeout=14400,lock=1)" The cost of eval could be brought down by precompiling the option string to a code object and running the code object in precompiled form. This seems a bit more flexible to me and won't force you to refactor the Session.py code.
