python - global var

I have a some libraries that communicate through a global object that
I want to wrap with boost::python. The 'main' driver code initializes
this object at global scope and the libraries use this instance.  I
probably can and should replace this with a singleton design.  But,
while I embark on this redesign, I wonder if there is a way to
construct an instance at global scope using boost::python without a
redesign.

I guess there is a good reason why my mother always told me to avoid
global variables...

Thanks,
