Based on my recent experience, I would say that you could put that 
initialization code in a module. Importing modules in Python is thread 
safe--the module code will only execute once.

For convenience, you can make a method in SitePage that returns the data:

class SitePage:

         def data(self):
                 import Parameters
                 return Parameters.data

Now your subclasses of SitePage can all say:

         self.data()

which is convenient. Since the parameters are kept in a module, non-servlet 
classes can also use them:

FooBar.py:

def doSomething():
         import Parameters
         print Parameters.data


Let us know if that makes sense and how it works for you.


Also, if you would ever be interested in posting a little article or HOWTO 
on credit card processing, that would be a nice contribution. It doesn't 
have to be formal.
