The actual code that uses these variables from within a script looks
like this:
def OnConnect(user):
s = "The value of x: " + str(x)
user.Send(s, True)
user.Receiver = "user_username"
return True
And the complete exception is:
[ERROR] [16-6-2009 1:18:16] An error occured while attempting to accept
a new connection. Error: name 'x' is not defined

:line 108
Weird thing is: If I use GetVariable, it works fine. The call is done at
a later location in the program that where I do the SetVariable, but the
script scope hasn't ben changed in the meantime.
