That's probably exactly what you *don't* want to do, because you are 
actually copying "a" into your module, i.e., it is equivalent to:

import myglob
a = myglob.a

So changes to myglob.a will not be reflected in the local a variable. 
It works for constants, but not for counters or anything like that.
