I'm still not clear on what you want to accomplish. In the end it boils down
to who is supposed to share that information in the variables, or in other
words: which scope has it.

Is it per request? Then using some thread-local storage would be in order,
or "abusing" a possible request-object.

Is it per user, over several requests? Then you need a session-mechanism.

Is it per application, for several users, over several requests? Then your
approach is ok, but needs guarding against concurrrent access using
threading.Lock for example. However, I presume that is not the desired
usecase, from what I can extract from your posts I presume it's case two.
