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.

Nicolas
