Really a Python question, not a wxPython question, but...
I'd use a dictionary singleton (singleton recipe:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/102187).
Create a new global-data singleton class:
# GlobalData.py
class GlobalData( dict )
__metaclass__ = Singleton
In your App class initialization or in your __main__,
get and initialize the singleton, so you know the
initial state:
from GlobalData import GlobalData
...
GlobalData()[ 'currentDate' ] = currentDate
Anywhere else you want to use and/or modify the shared
global data:
from GlobalData import GlobalData
...
# Get desired value
desiredValue = GlobalData()[ desiredValueName ]
# Change favorite color
GlobalData()[ 'userFavoriteColor' ] = userFavoriteColor
etc.

i'm migrating an app from perl/tk to wxPython. In perl the app has a global
variable called currentdate. At the start it is initialised as the system
date. whenever the date is changed in the main window of the app, the
variable currentdate is changed also and is the default date in any screen
that uses date. my wxpython app consists of a series of files - one class per
file which deals with one windows. How do i implement the global variable in
this?
