creating variable in root namespace from module

[MakaMaka]

Ok, I figured it out.  Thanks for your help guys.  If anybody else is
searching this group looking for the answer, you want the
sys._getframe() function.

sys._getframe(1).f_locals['a'] = 1

if you put the above in a function in a module, it creates a variable
'a' in the namespace of whatever calls the function in the module.  I
know this may make people cringe, but since I'm trying to basically
create a language, of which python is a subset, it's actually exactly
what I need to do.
