Have a module that either contains the variables directly or contains
a configuration object that has the variables. Then just import the
module wherever you need to access the variables.

For example:

#config.py
power_user_mode = True
user_avatar = "bacon.jpg"

#elsewhere.py
import mypackage.config as config

class Foo(object):
#...
def whatever(self):
self.set_avatar(config.user_avatar)
if config.power_user_mode:
self.show_advanced_interface()
#...
def something(self):
new_avatar = self.avatar_chooser()
config.user_avatar = new_avatar
self.set_avatar(new_avatar)

Cheers,
Chris
