If you really must, consider using a container object. The most
suitable container object for these tasks is often a module. I.e.,

Thank you to both of you for your assistance.
Using the qualified 'test2.glbl' form of the variable name gives the
result I need. The concepts of binding and rebinding, as programming
concerns, are new to me; I will have to study that further.
Thank you again, and Merry Christmas.

Think of this as roughly equivalent to:
import locl
glbl = test2.glbl
and so on. That is, after the 'from test2 import', the two name
Add these lines to test1.py and see what you get:
import test2
print 'test2.glbl postinc ', test2.glbl
This will work as you expect.
Next try chaning glbl in test2 to a list (a mutable type).
test2.py:
glbl = [25]
def inc_glbl():
global glbl
glbl[0] = glbl[0] + 1
def get_glb
I have a newby type question on how global variables work between
modules.
I have a module test2.py that defines a global variable as well as two
functions to operate on that variable. A script test1.py imports the
three names and prints out values of the global between operations, and
the resul
