Ah I see, pythonify.py does "sys.modules['cppyy.gbl'] = gbl".  I
somehow misread that.  It should also do in the same place "cppyy.gbl
= gbl" to force the value to show up when this initialization code
runs.

Uh, that's strange.  The docstrings in interpreter/module.py say
specifically the opposite.  But the truth looks a bit more complicated
indeed, e.g. it depends if getbuiltinmodule('cppyy') was already
called during translation or not...


A bientôt,

Armin.
