[mod_python] global

In Python assignments to numbers and strings make copies, which is what is 
happening in a "from test1 import *" statement.  The G1 in your global scope 
is a copy of the G1 in the module's global scope, which turn out to be 
different variables.  You'll have to "import test1" and refer to test1.G1.
