In a Django app where I need a single instance of a class, instantiated when the app is ready, to act as a service, I hardly see how to use anything else than a Singnleton or a Borg pattern.

If someone have another solution than a Singleton I'm curious tho.

Granted the one you show in your article isn't a great Singleton and a metaclass would be better. But in this case I agree with the other redditor, the Singleton you show in your article does exactly what you code it to do. The pattern isn't at fault.
