I have noticed that, when using python as an embedded language in another
program, using a temporary dictionary for a private namespace, and using
__main__'s dictionary for my global namespace, I can say:

global myfunc
def myfunc():
  ...

to bind myfunc into the global namespace, which allows it to persist across
calls.  But I want to make sure that is "intended behavior" and not just
some implementation quirk, so I can decide whether to document that as a
feature.

Any advice?

Thanx,
Bruce
