Passing a object to my test case from mainthread using unittest

[venkat]

i am new to python and just now started developing an linux application 
automation.

scenario i am trying is

thread.py --- will invoke all primary device threads and load test from 
testcase

admincase.py --- hold my tests for the case..

what i am unable to do is i want to pass certain objects from thread.py 
to admincase.py when loading the test. how do i do that..

object which i am tryin to pass is (*EppQueue*)

thread.py code

|import  threading
import  sys

class  inittest(unittest.TestCase):
     global  fun
     global  EppQueue
     global  window_name

     def  cleanup(epp_port):
         if  os.path.exists(epp_port):
             os.unlink(epp_port)

     def  start_threads(EppQueue,server_ip,epp_port):
         epp=  EPP
         EPP1=  threading.Thread(name='EPP',  target=epp,  args=(server_ip,54321,epp_port,EppQueue,))
         EPP1.setDaemon(True)
         EPP1.start()
         return  epp
     fun=  functions()
     EppQueue  =  Queue.Queue(1)
     server_ip='192.168.10.125'
     epp_port='/dev/ttyS17'
     print  "Starting"
     cleanup(epp_port)
     print  "Clean up Over"
     epp=  start_threads(EppQueue,server_ip,epp_port)
     raw_input("###### Please Start the main appilcation in the ATM and hit a KEY to continue ############")
     check=  0
     while  check==  0:
         window_name=  fun.start_up_verify('atm_main_app')
         if  any(window_name):
             check=  1
         else:

         sys.exit(0)
     else:

         print  "SYSTEM IS READY TO PERFORM TEST"
         raw_input("###### HIT ANY KEY TO START UNIT TEST ############")
         raw_input("kkk")      
         test=  unittest.defaultTestLoader.loadTestsFromName("admincases")
         unittest.TextTestRunner(verbosity=2).run(test)

         time.sleep(10)
         fun.send_queue(self.EppQueue,"send_keys,####****")


     fun=  functions()

Need some assistance on this...
