Python + Win32ALL + ASP = Problems accessing Request/Response/Session/Application objects

[Joe Salmeri]

Python         = 2.2
Win32All     = build 146
OS               = XP Professional

How are the ASP Request/Response/Session/Application objects accessed in a
module that is imported in an ASP file WITHOUT passing them in as paramaters
to each of the functions defined in that module?  I have attempted to track
down the creation of those objects but have been unable to trace them to the
source of their creation.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do (all thoughts are greatly
appreciated)
----- begin sample.asp ----

<%@language="Python"%

<%

# At this point the Request/Response/Session/Application objects exist in
the global namespace.
# Also there is a __ax_main__ module and a ax global that contains that
Request/Response/Session/Application objects
# The __ax_main__ module and ax global appear to be created by creating an
instance of win32com.axscript.client.pyscript.PyScript()

import sample_util



%>

---- end of sample.asp ----

---- begin sample_util.py -----

# How can the Request/Response/Session/Application objects be accessed by
this module WITHOUT passing them
# in as parameters to any functions defined here?

def sample_func_1(Request, Response, Session, Application):
    # this would allow you to reference the objects but each function would
need to do this
    return

def sample_func_2(Request, Response, Session, Application):
    # this would allow you to reference the objects this function would need
to do this too
    return

def sample_func_3():
    # I want to do something like
    import ax

    ax.Response.Write('blah blah')

    # OR

    from ax import Request, Response, Session, Application
    Response.Write('blah blah')

---- end sample_util.py ----
