I'm still not clear on what you want to accomplish. In the end it boils down to who is supposed to share that information in the variables, or in other words: which scope has it. Is it per request? Then using some thread-local storage would be in order, or "abusing" a possible request-object. Is it per user, over several requests? Then you need a session-mechanism. Is it per application, for several users, over several requests? Then your approach is ok, but needs guarding against concurrrent access using threading.Lock for example. However, I presume that is not the desired usecase, from what I can extract from your posts I presume it's case two. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
