Or worse style - if you are too lazy to create a extra global variables module (ab)use the __main__ module als "global":


import __main__

__main__.mysemphore += 1

You could merge the two approaches and bind a more explicit name to
__main__:

import __main__ as config

config.mysemaphore = 0

It's a little clearer what you're subverting __main__ for here
