loadModule returns the module class, not an instance tied to the current
request.  (that is what the "api" hook gives you, but since the server
is still starting up at this point that doesn't help here.)

But since it's just a python dict in threaded mode you can do this

import pool
pool.dictpool['foo'] = ...

You can also add on-startup stuff to the globals dict in spyceconf.py;
those keys will be directly available in .spy pages, e.g.

[[= foo ]]

and as attributes of api for handlers or .spy pages.
