Hmm, I might be missing something, but it feels like globals in a .pxd file should not be allowed in the first place - unless there is a .pyx file for them. But that's difficult to prohibit, given that the .pyx file is not needed at compile time, and might not be there at all, just the readily compiled module (and maybe not even that). And I don't see why Python globals should be allowed in .pxd files at all. So - it seems probably difficult to improve the first case. Regarding your actual example, however, if there is really no use case for Python globals in .pxd files, then we should better disallow them.
