MyGlobals Class

This class is used to implement a global variables object in Python.

class MyGlobals:
    '''
    This class implements a global variables object which can
    easily be managed in all scopes without passing arguments
    to functions or class methods.
   
    This is a very nice way to manage explicit global variables!
