Python sharing data across all modules in django app

I am using django App and i have several python modules in it.

When user post something then there is userid in it

userid = 234

From the post i have various modules doing their function.

Now in all those modules i want the userid which i can use in log statement.

I really don't want to explicitly supply that id everywhere.

Is there any way i can set userid at the start of post and that gets available across all the modules i use for that request

Can i use something like this

tdata = threading.local()
tdata.userid = 234

Then in parser_module.py

tdata = threading.local()
log.info(tdata.userid)

Or is there any other way of doing it

Store it in the session (or alternatively, cookie) if it is per request.

Edit

As an alternative if you are not using sessions or cookies, have a look at Django's low level cache API. You can store the value in the cache and access it later.

>>> cache.set('userid', 234, 30)

Then in another context

>>> cache.get('userid')
234
