wonderer, fyi I CC'd this msg to the list b/c I'm no Python master, and 
hopefully someone else can come up with something constructive.

 From what I understand of Python, you would want to import "util.py" as 
a module into the script where you're trying to use the global variable, 
which means that the global variable is now "util.variablename" (I 
think).  I have no experience with C, so I'm not sure if this is the 
same thing as #define (not sure what that is...)

Good luck though.
