Thanks again, Malcom -- I see what you mean, you're quite right. I do keep forgetting that things are passed by reference, and that definitely explains it - it also explains why the data corruption limits itself to individual URL files (i.e. in this particular instance, I only saw 'extra' info belonging to another handful of views -- all of them originating in the same urls.py and therefore sharing the same base info_dict object).
So I'll re-examine how I'm doing things with that in mind, and play around with the deepcopy module if necessary, and that should make the solution clear.
