These I'm not sure on, but...

...I believe that the globals are valid for the life of the
interpreter. If you have separate virtual servers running then each
one has its own subinterpreter, and as such the globals should be
valid for each one.

You could check by passing a unique value to the __init__ function of
your global object for each site, and examining that value to see if
it is different.
