Note, session, request, and response are just instances of the gluon.storage.Storage class, which itself inherits from the built-in Python dict. If you like it as is, then I would suggest just using it as is: from gluon.storage import Storage mystorage = Storage() mystorage.myvalue = 'some value' Nothing prevents you from using that outside of a web2py app. I've been looking into using classes to store values, just like for example > session does in web2py.

Can you share specific arguments made against specific implementations? Links to SO? Note, the web2py Storage class is just a Python dict tweaked to allow setting/getting via either keys or attributes and to return None when a non-existent key is accessed (rather than raising an exception). Otherwise, it is just a dict. > After trying many ways to do this, none of the ways I tried created > classes with instances.
