I'm not sure about the most elegant way to handle this in the wiki, but
we likely need to make the reader aware of differences between
mod_python versions.
Using this "PythonOption session" as an example, we actually have 3
different cases:
Version 3.1.4
"PythonOption session" is not used. When calling Session.Session(req)
you get the default session type for your platform: DbmSession with the
prefork-mpm and worker-mpm, MemorySession with the winnt-mpm.
Version 3.2
"PythonOption session" was introduced to allow the default session type
to be overridden at run time.
Version 3.3 (real soon now)
We started using PythonOption much more heavily in 3.2 to control the
run time 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 "PythonOption session"
has been deprecated in favour of "PythonOption
mod_python.session.session_type".
So my question is "How do we handle this in general?". At the very least
any of the Wiki authors should note which version of mod_python they
used when creating their examples.
