How about
__.x = 42
Too much line-noise, so too Perlish. :-) I don't like to use a mysterious symbol like __ for a common thing like a global variable. I also don't think I want global variable assignments to look like attribute assignments. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
