The global variable you've defined is global "per-process". It's likely that you've two or more processes setup to serve your Django requests. In that case, there's no guarantee that every request from one user will always go through the same process. This is what you are seeing. In general, it's not a good idea to use globals in this way. You have a few options: The simplest one is to store that variable's value in the request session. It will not be an application level global but you will get the same value for it for any number of requests made by one user during his session with your site. If I misunderstood what you are trying to do and you need a truly global storage for this value, you could store that value in: - your DB or - memcached (assuming it's possible to install and run memcached with your hosting account) or - a file on the filesystem -Rajesh D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
