I agree that in this example that would be the natural thing to do. 
My case is more tricky though: I have something like

    def fun():
       cfun_that_creates_q_in_local_scope()
       def fun2():
           cfun_that_wants_to_see_if_q_is_available()

So the Python side actually doesn't see 'q' directly at all.

I am willing to elaborate on this if you want (I have fairly good
reasons to do things this way, mostly having to do with historical
constraints of an older C library that I cannot avoid), but it
requires more space.

Cheers,
Kasper
