Hello,

I noticed that globals() does something different in Python and Cython. In Cython, it allows to access the "top-level" globals, e.g. the globals on the IPython command line. This is the reason that

sage: _ = var('y')
sage: y
y

works. However, this only works because the var() function is implemented in Cython! Python's globals() are the globals of the module. I am almost certain this is the source of #12446.

So the question is: is it possible to access the top-level globals from Python? Implementing stuff in Cython just because globals() behaves differently looks very fragile to me.

Jeroen.
