Java's Application Context in Django
There seems to be nothing like this in Django, there are thread locals which can be used, but they are not the exact same as Application context.
For a Servlets based web application there exists something called an Application Context. It is an Object accessible from anywhere in the application and can be used to store data which is relevant in the context of the application.
Is there something like this in Django? If not, what are the alternates that are available in Django for use cases of an Application Context.
