No, I'm afraid Brett is quite right. Globals are looked up when the function is executed, true, but they are looked up within the module that defined the function.

I was thinking you could fix that by going over the imported functions and stuffing the current globals into their func_globals, but unfortunately it's read-only. :-(

f.func_globals = g Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: readonly attribute

Is there a reason it couldn't be made writeable?
