Cannot get the value from dogpile.cache from different modules.

Then you have to add/remove complexity until you find the problematic 
statements.

The "global" statement tells a function that a name in the module namespace 
should be used even though there is an assignment to that name inside the 
function. Example:
_value = 0
def next_int():
 global _value
 _value += 1
 return _value
It is unlikely that this feature will affect your problem.

You can add print statements to your getters/setters
>>> from dogpile.cache import make_region
>>> region = make_region()
>>> region.configure("dogpile.cache.memory")
<dogpile.cache.region.CacheRegion object at 0x7f61f60cafd0>
>>> region.backend
<dogpile.cache.backends.memory.MemoryBackend object at 0x7f61f5e3e110>
to see if the object IDs are the same (I bet they aren't).
Another shot in the dark: an unobvious source of running code twice is when 
you import (directly or indirectly) the main script:
$ cat demo.py
import demo
print "demo"
$ python demo.py 
demo
demo
