Passing "req" to functions called from the PSP page is fine
and would be necessary in a lot of cases.

Maybe some others on the mailing list who use PSP on a regular
basis might give suggestions on how to best structure stuff,
but in general it is possibly better to have as little Python
code in the actual PSP page as possible, with it all being
separated into separate functions. That way the PSP page is
cleaner and code is reusable across multiple pages.

PS, please remember to use reply-all so messages go back to
the mailing list.
