If you are already using SSI for basic page composition using 'include
virtual', it may be of interest for you to know that upcoming
mod_python 3.3 supports use of Python code directly with SSI. For
details see:

To use this feature now, you would have to use latest mod_python code
base out of Subversion repository though. We are just tidying up last
few issues for 3.3, so code is more than usable at this point.

There is an example in the article about how the new feature can be
used for adding header, footers etc.
