Oh, after you have that installed. Naturally I skipped straight to your 
code and got:

  NameError: global name 'G' is not defined

>     G.BDFL = "GvR"

But even if it worked, I don't think this two-parter counts as a 'global 
variable' as it is understood. I might as well just create my own G 
module containing:

     BDFL="GvR"

and import it in both A and B. Then I can also write G.BDFL in those 
modules. But remember the point was avoid having to write Test.test_var.

(Perhaps your method dispenses with having to create such a module and 
to have to explicitly import it into each module.)
