I am not sure that I understand what you are saying, but I'll make a
quick suggestion...

Perhaps 'app' can be a global variable within 'leoGlobals', but
assigned the value 'None' when the module is imported. Your
initialisation code can then reassign the variable at the appropriate
time.

If you refer to 'app.whatever' while 'app' is still 'None' you should
get an exception.

That's not what most people mean by 'singleton' of course, but if you
can be sure of your initialisation sequence it can probably do the
job.
