The concept of "session" is not directly supported by HTTP, though many 
packages add support for sessions by using cookies or other means.  Many 
web frameworks provide session support (e.g. CherryPy, Twisted, and 
probably just about any other one for that matter) but I don't think 
you'll find it in the standard library modules, which were not intended 
for real production use in any but the simplest applications.
