Using variables across modules

> Just wirte test code !

variables.py:

     myvar = 5
     print myvar

foo.py:

     from variables import *
     def PrintVar():
          print myvar

bar.py:

     from variables import *
     from foo import *
     print myvar
     myvar = 2
     print myvar
     PrintVar()

"python bar.py" output:

     5
     5
     2
     5

... which is what I was expecting, but not what I want. Obviously,
each import is creating its own instance of the variable. What I need
is a way to change myvar from within "bar.py" so that PrintVar()
returns the new value, even though it's in a different module.
