That is *exactly* what I use g for -- stashing 'static' data ( the
names and ids of 'options' that the database fkeys on .  example:

query= "select * from _gender"
for row in rows:
   g.gender.id[ row.id ]= row.name
   g.gender.name[ row.name ]= row.id

i also have some other misc. config data -- like amazon s3 urls, etc
- which are initialized on startup based out of config values.

i'm a little less-than-enthusiastic by the built in testing with
Pylons.  not having g,c,session is annoying.  i've also noticed that
for every test it does a full app initialization - which means ( in my
case ) querying the database for 50 tables worth of data.
