So I declare a variable named A in thread1, in script1.py. I assign the value of 2.5 to A. I then run script2.py in thread2. Script2.py assigns the value of 5.5 to a variable named A. Now, when thread1 resums execution, I see that A = 5.5, rather than 2.5 as I expected.
Is this normal behavior? Based on the little documentation I have been able to find on this topic, it is normal behavior. The only way to use same-named variables in scripts is to have them run in a different process, rather than different threads. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
