It seems you are creating bcast_watchdog as a local variable in
__main__.main(). How would you suppose it to become magically inserted in
the hb_global namespace? Do

def main():
    bcast_watchdog = hb_global.WatchDog(timeout=3)
    hb_global.bcast_watchdog = bcast_watchdog

to insert the WatchDog instance into the hb_global module. (Note that there
may be other problems as I didn't look any further)
