python - Create variables in Django views.py and access them at later point -

let's have following 2 functions in views.py:

def foo(request):     class_instance = someclass()     return httpresponse('whatever')  def bar(request):     # here want access class_instance 

initially, foo() called, , @ later point bar() called, in want access variable class_instance.

is there way of accomplishing while neither using request.session nor django models (e.g. django.db.models)?

(nb: had luck global variables in views.py, bad idea anyway , somehow didn't work)

you can put variable module constant, if it's not prone changing much.

class_instance = someclass()  def foo(request):     return httpresponse('whatever')  def bar(request):     # here want access class_instance 

then both methods have access that, but keep in mind, functions can't change constant's value way.

ps: can change value of global:

class_instance = someclass()  def foo(request):     global class_instance     class_instance = someclass() # new instance     return httpresponse('whatever')  def bar(request):     # here want access class_instance
