So then the other commonly used pattern
is a shared object between two other objects.

class Env(object):

   def __init__(self):
      self.spam = None

class A(object):

   def __init__(self, env):
      self.env = env

   def __call__(self):
      self.env.spam = "Eggs"

class B(object):

   def __init__(self, env):
      self.env = env

   def __call__(self):
      self.env.spam = "Bacon"

Very readable and makes perfect sense if it suits you.
