Following `explicit is better than implicit` I'd prefer to have a huge 
interface class or object that would be instantiated with parameters. 
Something like this:

from myModule import myModule

myModule.tweak(<blah>)

...

myModule.doSomething()

Of course, this solution might not fit your needs.
