[New-bugs-announce] [issue24592] global var defined in module not returned by function

[arthur]

New submission from arthur:

defined global var, glob.myVar, in separated module
imported module containing glob.myVar

in function1, func1():
glob.myVar = ""
func1Var = func2()

in function2, func2():
if (...):
glob.myVar+= "abc" 
func2() # call func2() again - recursive
else:
return glob.myVar

I always find:
func1Var is None = True

An obvious workaround is
func1Var = glob.myVar
which is fine
