Django view alter global variable?

I agree with Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, don't use globals. Especially in your use case. The problem with this approach is that, when you deploy your app to a wsgi container or what have you, you will have multiple instances of your app running in different processes, so changing a global variable in one process won't change it in others.

I will admit to having no experience leveraging them, but if you haven't looked at Django's signaling capabilities, it seems like they would be a prime candidate for this kind of activity (and more appropriate than global variables).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
