[mod_python] persistent, reliable globals

Apache starts number of child process - any given web connection could be
served by any of these, or apache root may start a new child to answer http
request.  Refreshing same page from same client could result in service from
different apache child processes.  Mod_python and your modules live in each
child independently - setting global only sets in it one apache process, not
other or future processes.

At least that's my understanding.
