I'm a mechanical engineering student, and I'm building a physical simulation using PyODE.
instead of running everything from one file, I wanted to organize stuff in modules so I had:

main.py
callback.py
helper.py

I ran into problems when I realized that helper.py needed to reference variables from main, but main was the one importing helper!
so my solution was to create a 4th file, which houses variables and imports only external modules (such as time and random).
so I now have:

main.py
callback.py
helper.py
parameters.py

and all scripts have: import parameters and use: parameters.foo or parameters.bar.
Is this an acceptable practice or is this a sure fire way to make python programmers puke? :)
Please let me know if this makes sense, or if there is a more sensible way of doing it!
Thanks,

Uhm, i think it does not make sence if this happens: "realized that helper.py needed to reference variables from main", your helper functions should be independent from your "main code", otherwise i think its ugly and more like a design failure.
A python module for global parameters - is this good practice?
