[mod_python] Use of global for application data?

Hi,

I've seen examples of how to create persistent database connections with
mod_python, but not enough examples of other application data.  In my
case the application data are large objects including page templates.  
Exists
a better way than binding values to names in the globals namespace?  
Maybe
I just have a hang-up about globals that I need to overcome.
