Globals are variables that have toplevel module scope. Basically, any assignments, function definitions, or class definitions with no indentation from the left margin will create a global variable. If you can get at the variable by appending something of the form "\nSomeIdentifierHere\n" to the module's file, and it's not a built-in function, then it's a global.
