I have absolutely no experience with mod_python, so take this with a grain of salt - but you code above suggests that there is a request object: req. You already use it: req. How about storing u in req like this: def authenhandler(): # Store information about the user in an object req.u = new User(req.user, pass) -- Regards, Diez B.
