Here is a very small version of the program:

# ------- File1.py -------
global var
var = 2
print "var1 = ", var  # => var1 = 2

from File2 import *

class Class1:
    def function1(self):
        global var
        var = 3
        print "var3 = ", var # => var3 = 3


first_class = Class1()
first_class.function1()
second_class = Class2()
second_class.function2()
print "var6 = ", var  # => var6 = 3 , But I would like
that var6 = 4 !!!

# ------- File2.py -------
from File1 import var
# if I don't put this line, it says that the variable
var does not exist

print "var2 = ", var  # => var2 = 2

class Class2:
    def function2(self):
        global var
        print "var4 = ", var  # => var4 = 2 , But I
would like that var4 = 3 !!!
        var = 4
        print "var5 = ", var  # => var5 = 4
# -----------------------

That is exactly my problem !!!
