Hi Chris. Your question has been discussed by several people already the 
last time you answered it. Please do us the courtesy of reading those 
answers before repeating your question.

Also, my short answer to your question is: don't do that! I really have 
to question why you need to set variables in local or global scope 
rather than just setting items in a dictionary. Why?
