[mod_python] pass variables between functions.

If you're looking for setting something like constants, then one
suggestion would be to create a separate config module of a sort :

# config.py
COLOR='blue'
SIZE=10

Then, in your publisher handler file you can import the config module
and call it like so:

from mod_python import apache
import config

def test(req):
 mycolor = config.COLOR + 1
 mysize = config.SIZE +1

def add(req):
 mycolor = config.COLOR +2
 mysize = config.SIZE + 2

However, if by consistency, you mean retain a value across functions,
then using global should work fine.  You may just have an issue with
sessions.  What do  you ultimately want to accomplish?
