What makes you think it will be corrupted? Have you tried it?
There are no globals in python, really, besides the module system (every
import of module 'x' will give the same object(s)), but you can even work
around that.

Why not:
test8.py
class ClientConfiguration:
def __init__(self):
self.input = "excel"
self.output = "sql"
configuration = ClientConfiguration()
then there's one configuration object that everyone can use (or not use,
if they like):
from test8 import configuration
Current best practice, as documented by
https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2007/07/functional-functions-and-python.html
is to have clean places to override the usage of the module, that's the
'best way' really.
