Kind of seems like a code smell.  I think you would normally
just inject the dependencies like:

     module_b.do_thing("Hi there!")

If you really want to have a module-global space,
you could just create a module globals.py, and
import that in every module that needs to share globals.
You can just do globals.message = "Hi there!" and
from another module do print globals.message.

The module can even create the message or variable dynamically. I have one that, when it is loaded, asks git for the branch and changeset hash the code's working directory is using. This module is imported by others that use the branch and changeset data in one way or another.
