mod_python: How to make a single object available to all instances?

[Trond]

It works, that is, the module is initiated once, but a copy of the
module is created for each thread..so it doesn't really solve my
memory problem. Maybe I've done something wrong, or maybe it just
isn't possible for 10 threads to use the same copy of the module?
