I have no idea how to do exactly what you want, as I’m completely unfamiliar with the maxscript <–> python bridge.

But the global keyword in python doesn’t really work that way.
It is basically used to allow nested scopes to access and modify values in the module’s global scope.
So global only impacts the current module that you’re in.

This page has a bunch of examples and explenations:

-----in_maxscript-----

temp = “flux”

-----in_python(max)–

msEval = MaxPlus.Core.EvalMAXScript
msString =’’‘temp’’’

ret = msEval(msString)
print ret.Get()

-----in_python(max)–

msEval = MaxPlus.Core.EvalMAXScript
msString =’’‘temp = “capacitor” ‘’’

msEval(msString)

-----in_maxscript-----

print temp
