Parameters for the instantiation of flask.ext.restful.Resource

Dear Flask community,
I am currently implementing a somewhat MVC-like application layout with
(RESTful) Flask. Therefore I created the following construct:
8<===============================
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.restful import Api, Resource
def main():
lModel = RangeManager()
lApp = Flask(__name__)
lApi = Api(lApp)
FetchRange.sModel = lModel
lApi.add_resource(FetchRange, '/fetch')
# start server
# omitted to keep the example short and tidy
class FetchRange(Resource):
def get(self):
return FetchRange.sModel.getRange()
8<===============================
As you can see, access to the model (implemented by me) is accomplished
through a class-variable (FetchRange.sModel). Is there a better way to
provide object refs to Resources to be used during their instantiation
(managed by Flask-RESTful) or during object-lifetime? I do not want to work
with global variables.
Thanks in advance,
Rainer
