How long does the data have to persist?

   -   If it's just for the processing of the request, locals should be 
   fine (or add to current if you need models to access it). 
   - If it's just for the current session, session can store some stuff (I 
   think pickling requirements are the limitation).
   - If it has to persist indefinitely, then you need to use a file, or 
   else create a table that will later be dropped.
