The principle of the Singleton is that you can have *only one* instance of it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Don't reinvent the module ;-) other.py import context context.a = 3 x = context.b # where context.b is previous set somewhere else If you need multiple shared contexts, people subclass object class context(object): pass context1 = context() context2 = context() # now set and get attributes as needed Terry J.

Re: Problem in designing a global directory in python
I googled about how to write singleton in python, but even if I use Singleton, in which module's namespace should I keep the instance of this singleton? suppose I have a singleton class definiton in "utils.py", how should I import and where should I make instance and initialize? Thanks!! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Problem in designing a global directory in python
I have tried using "sysctx=None" instead of "global sysctx", but it doesn't work either. It seems my initialization work in the previous calling of init() has no persistent effect when "utils" is imported using "from myproj.utils import getContext". What's weird, when a module is in the same directory as utils.py, where I can simply use "utils" for importing, there is no such problem. Any other suggestions? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Please do not use the from module import * form
from utils import getContext

You can also restrict the exported names of utils.py by adding a
__all__ = ('getContext',)
in utils.py.

See above :-) and post a follow-up to report if the issue is solved.

Problem in designing a global directory in python
I want to create a object directory called Context in my program, which is based on a dict to save and retrieve values/objects by string-type name. I have the definition like this: utils.py global sysctx class Context: def __init__(self): def set(self, name, obj, overwrite=True): def get(self, name): def has(self, name): def init(): global sysctx sysctx = Context() def getContext(): global sysctx return sysctx - init() is called somewhere at the beginning of the program. In other modules, i want to use this in the following manner, from utils import * getContext().set(...) but SOMETIMES I met following error located in "getContext()" NameError: global name 'sysctx' is not defined I found that when a module is in the same directory as utils.py, when I can simply use "utils" for importing, there is no such problem. But when i was writing a module in a deeper directory than utils.py, which has to use the full module name for importing, such as: from myproj.utils import * getContext().set(...) I got this error. What should I do to correct that? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
