Almost. You cannot do do this:
self.env = Storage(globals())
self.cache = self.env.cache
self.request = self.env.request
self.response = self.env.response
self.db = self.env.db
self.obj1 = self.env.obj1
self.obj2 = self.env.obj2
but you can do
current.db = db
current.obj1=obj1
current.obj2=obj2
...
(in model)
and
self.cache =current.cache
self.request = current.request
self.response = current.response
self.db = current.db
self.obj1 = current.obj1
self.obj2 = current.obj2
(in module)
I would still pass db,obj1 and obj2 explicitly and try avoid circular
references as possible (they increate time for garbage collection).
