Can we get request parameters from Django settings or other variables?

I see that the request parameters can be obtained in a viewset function using request variable. eg:

@detail_route(methods=['get'])
def mysampleviewsetfunction(self, request):
     print request

But, I want to be able to access request from some common variable. The purpose of that is to write a common function that can be called from all viewsets. This common function should be able to access request parameters depending upon the viewset that called it. But for some reason, I don't want to send the request parameter to this common function. My code should look like this:

@detail_route(methods=['get'])
def mysampleviewsetfunction(self, request):
      commonfunction()

def commonfunction():
      print xxxx.request

This 'xxxx' should be some global django variable that stores the current viewset's request. Is there any global variable that stores current viewset's request?

it'd save me the trouble of modifying all the functions.

You wouldn't have to if you provide a default.

def commonfunction(request=None):

This of course means that any existing function calls won't be able to use the request until you update them so you'll need a check to make sure the request isn't none in this function.

There isn't any way you could use a global variable since that won't work asyncronously
