This should be a simple question...

They are just a bunch of variables, but I don't want to put them into module 
scope because there may be other functions C and D with different settings.

Of course I could collect them into an object and refer to them as o.x.  
Requires more typing though.

What if I had:

my_obj = common_variables()
That set all these attributes, but then with function A I inject them into 
A's scope (shouldn't be too hard to do, I think)?
