[Pyunit-interest] Passing a object to my test case from mainthread using unittest

[venkat <ven...@vo...>]

i am new to python and just now started developing an linux application 
automation.

scenario i am trying is

thread.py --- will invoke all primary device threads and load test from 
testcase

admincase.py --- hold my tests for the case..

what i am unable to do is i want to pass certain objects from thread.py 
to admincase.py when loading the test. how do i do that..

object which i am tryin to pass is (*EppQueue*)

thread.py code

Need some assistance on this...
