[New-bugs-announce] [issue40249] __import__ doesn't honour globals

[Stefan Seefeld]

New submission from Stefan Seefeld <stefan at seefeld.name>:

I'm trying to import custom scripts that expect the presence of certain variables in the global namespace.
It seems `__import__('script', globals=dict(foo='bar'))` doesn't have the expected effect of injecting "foo" into the namespace and making it accessible to the script being loaded.

Is this a bug in `__import__` or am I missing something ? If the behaviour is expected, how can I achieve the desired behaviour ?
