(Sorry for not responding earlier: my internet connection wasn't working.)

The bug in this case is trying to export those two functions, which are 
clearly for internal use of the compiler(_GLOBAL___D__home_... is a 
function). I will change AllFromHeader so that it will ignore names that 
start with "_" (the same semantics of Python's "from foo import *" ;-) )

But Pyste now doesn't support global variables. I will add it, with a 
"Var" declaration, similar to a "Class" declaration.

Thanks Cyril,
Nicodemus.
