Ok, so far this is the same as mod perl.

With mod perl I normally create my own request object, usually a
hash/dictionary to store all the values I need to be global.  At the
end of the request I just undefine the one request object instead of
having to remember all the different global variables.  Is this
approach good for mod python as well?

Thanks for the rest of the info, that helped..
