[mod_python] Global, but threadsafe request object?

The only way to do this safely and in a portable way would be to store the 
request object in a thread-local variable (see 
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/302088 ). Thread 
locals are only present in Python 2.4, though (but a pure Python 
implementation is provided and nothing prevents it from running on previous 
versions of Python).
