Isn't that __main__?

__main__.foo = "asdfasdf"

# asdfasdf
Not advocating, but it does serve the purpose.
Good that you're not advocating it, because IMHO it's bad practice to
have circular import dependencies. By using the __main__ alias, you
avoid the worst problems, but that just means the others are more subtle.
You can make it safe, by carefully avoiding certain constructs. But
it's still fragile, in that a minor change in one module of the loop can
cause either an exception or unexpected behavior.
