title: Is using a singleton the answer?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a snips app to play songs using Python 3 and the python-vlc library. I am able to play my songs, but unable to stop them. The action will not run again while the song is playing, but other actions will, so I'm looking to put the stop function in a seperate file. The problem with this, is it creates a second instance of vlc and does not stop the current song.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if creating a singleton of the vlc object would allow me to accomplish this. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any recommendations?</p>
