This should not work at all, unless you have a global myVariable, 
i.e. outside myClass.

If you want myVariable to be shared between all instances of myClass,
then I think you want this:

class myClass :
    myVariable = 10
    def __init__(self):
        newWindow = myWindow(myClass.myVariable)


If instead you want each instance of myClass to have its own myVariable,
then I think you want this:

class myClass :
    def __init__(self):
        self.myVariable = 10
        newWindow = myWindow(self.myVariable)


Then again, I could have completely misunderstood you.
