One thing you can do is to make your variable live in another module. This is a common way to make config files, for instance.
say you have a file called config.py which contains the single line my_int = 0 then in your main program you can do: import config and start using config.my_int wherever you would like to. of course, you can also do from config import my_int and start using my_int At this point, you aren't any better off that just using a global, though. Note that if you do: config.my_int = 1 or my_int = 1 the file config.py is not changed. The next time anybody imports it, they will get the 0 value for my_int.
