Sure.

What I had in mind was something like this:

# begin module derp.py

global_variable = 4

def f():
	print('global_variable == %i' % global_variable)

# end module derp.py

 >>> # in the interactive interpreter...
 >>> import derp
 >>> from derp import *
 >>> global_variable = 5
 >>> f()
global_variable == 4
 >>> derp.global_variable = 5
 >>> f()
global_variable == 5


Off the top of my head I don't know whether there's any purpose to doing 
that kind of thing with tkinter, but I can conceive that it might be 
useful for e.g. changing widget default behaviour or something.

No idea, sorry.
