i've used this technique before where different modules access a global
variable in another module it works.  i'm not understanding why you are
having problems.  i just did this test with strings... is this similar to
what you are doing?  it shouldn't matter how myvar gets set.

--- test1.py
myvar = 'abc'
def set_myvar(x):
    global myvar
    myvar = x

--- test2.py
import test1
print test1.myvar
test1.set_myvar('def')
print test1.myvar

--- from the interpreter
>>> import test2
abc
def
>>>
