Maybe you're doing something wrong. But since you didn't provide any
code, it's impossible to tell what.

As far as I can tell with the information you have given, none is
needed. See below:
0:> python2.7 singleton_test.py # works also with python3.2
Foo created
True
#singleton_test.py
from singleton import Singleton
# Singleton is the class from Paul Manta from the SO page
# and singleton.py contains nothing else
@Singleton
class Foo:
def __init__(self):
print('Foo created')
f = Foo.Instance()
g = Foo.Instance()
print(f is g)
