Access a global object by its name than module

I have a module where I read a config file and store it into a variable.

Eg: myconfig.py looks like:

cfg = {}def load(file_path):    global cfg    cfg = cfg_file_todict(file_path)

This load() function is called in a main() function (i.e. at beginning of the process).

I observe that the cfg variable cannot be imported directly, but it has to accessed via the module name.

I.e., say I have a file a.py where:

import myconfigprint(myconfig.cfg) # This prints the config properly across modules

But if I have:

from myconfig import cfgprint(cfg) # This prints None

Is there some way where even the second type of import can still retain the original variable? Or is there some other alternative to this?
