Yes.

I suppose. Python doesn't really have a global scope other than the 
builtin scope. What is called global scope is really module scope. 
Global variables, functions and classes defined in a module are 
attributes of the module object. When you import the module in another 
module, you gain access to the imported module's attributes using the 
normal dot notation for attribute access.
