(as an aside, is there a way to get a local/global variable from a
string like one can fetch a variable from a class/object with
getattr()? Something like getattr(magic_namespace_here, "hello") used
in the above context? I know it can be done with eval(), but that's
generally considered unsafe unless you vet your input thoroughly)
I think you're looking for
globals()["hello"], or of course magic_namespace=globals()
