Python handles globals badly.

[Vladimir Ignatov]

Hi,

my 0.02

I don't personally use globals. And don't like "object oriented" code
(my code more inclined toward "functional" style). But sometimes I
feel like passing various minor values (like settings) all around app
via regular parameters is just too much work.  So I use
"pseudo-global" object which holds various stuff in its attributes.
And I pass that object around my code. But that is just one parameter,
not myriads of them.
