Yes you can pass objects through signals.  You could pass a dict, or an
instance of one of your own classes.  You could also go back to your
first architecture and pass in an Outpost class instance to the worker
thread when instantiating it, and then the worker could use the outpost
instance to perform the work, then pass it back to your handler through
the signal.

Yeah sounds alright. I'm sure there are multiple ways of doing this that
would work.
