You can do this with module-level variables and a base class for klass:

cat somefile.py
a = 222
b = 111
c = 9


cat somefile2.py
class base:
     def __init__(self, a, b, c, d):
         self.xxx = a
         self.zzz = b
         self.c = c
         self.d = d


cat anotherfile.py
import somefile, somefile2

def a():
    postprocess(somefile.a)

def b():
    postprocess(somefile.a, somefile.b, somefile.c)

class klass(somefile2.base):
    def __init__(self, a, b, c, d):
        somefile2.base.__init__(self, a, b, c, d)
