Python handles globals badly.

Well, I'm not snot, and I also have 20+ years' programming
experience... and I'm telling you that using that many globals is a
poor way to write code. Especially having so many separate, but
related, variables. If your two decades' experience were at all like
mine, you'll have worked with quite a lot of languages, and you'll
know to code to a language's strengths rather than fighting against
it. On the other hand, if you've been working with one language for
twenty years, then maybe you'd do better to stick to it than to try to
learn something new. But either way, don't expect Python to behave
like <insert other language here>, because if it did, what would be
the point of having both?
