Summary: global variable: multiple id()-addresses 

Initial Comment:
The **attachment** contains an example where one single
global variable appears at two different positions
when applying the 'id(...)' function.
The following files are attached:

core.py:  contains the definition of the global
          variable, two example functions, and 
          a minimal class definition.

test.py:  a test program displaying that the global
          variable in core.py has two addresses.

result.txt: the output of the test.py procedure.

In practical this means that a variable
'my_module.global_var' may refer to two 
different objects!
