This doesn't sound too bad.

Trying to get past my prejudice against the word global to see this
solution objectively and just can't.

Perhaps by generating a custom event and posting it to the main window? 
If you're using wxPython, you might take a look at the dispatcher

of task.  Regardless, I'd certainly post to the wxPython user list to
see what people there come up with.
