Are those *really* global variables? If yes, you could put them in yet  
another module, maybe config.py, and always get/set them using:
import config
config.xxx = "abc"
foo(x, config.yyy)
(do *not* use: from config import xxx)

Or, you may consider placing the global variables on the same module as  
those common functions (if that make some sense...)

But perhaps they are not really global variables, and you can use some  
class to hold them, specially if you can logically attach some methods to  
it.

Without further knowledge of the application, that's all I can say.
