Global variables when using gunicorn

[Mathieu Drapeau]

What's the easiest way to use app-wide global variables when running over gunicorn with multiple workers?

(worker class is gevent)

Looking at the gunicorn code it seems that each workers is forked unfortunately even if you specify gevent as worker class.

So nothing could be done in a simple manner, need to use a pile of external solutions (redis queue, zmq interprocess communication, Listener, etc) even for a simple shared counter!

Try searching "shared memory gunicorn"

While gunicorn doesn't support shared memory, there are a lot of "workarounds" on various lists and stack overflow to solve your exact need.  Most of them seem indexed under the "shared memory" concept.
