No.

But this might satisfy:

Create a module called, perhaps, global.py which contains your variables.

global.py
  VarA = None
  VarB = None

Then any module can import it and read/write the values.

  import global
  global.VarA = ...
  print global.VarB
  # and so forth

I'm not sure how that will work.
