Since most of the time for me when I need a global, I need it to be an app global (more than just one module) and I use it to store configuration. So I just use another module for that. import my_global_module as _g _g.some_setting = 5 I get the impression, thought, that our esteemed poster is still trying to battle the Java windmill, but in Python now and will never accept anything we try to tell him about the Python way. Python does have its warts, but often attempts to fix the warts would just make things a lot worse. So I accept them as part of Python's character and try to use them to my advantage. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
