When you say "use it in a module" do you mean like this:

    from the_module import *
    print _myVar

If so then that is normal as names begining with an underscore are not
imported with the *, (it's a way to help prevent namespace pollution.)  On
the other hand, this should work:

    import the_module
    print the_module._myVar
