Value of global variable could not been gotten through pyodide.globals.get()

[MRYingLEE]

In a Jupyterlite with slightly customized Pyodide environment, I failed to access value of a global variable.
In UI, I ran the following assignment statement in a cell:

a=1

In some customized code, I ran the following Typescript code for testing:

          const { globals } = this._pyodide;
          const a_before = globals.get("a");
          if (a_before)
            try {
              console.log(`Before run, the value is ${a_before}.`);
            } catch (err: any) {
              console.error(err);
              console.log(`Before run, the value is ${a_before.toJS()}.`);
            }

          await this._pyodide.loadPackagesFromImports(newCode);
          const result = await this._pyodide.runPythonAsync(newCode);

          if (result)
            console.log(`After run, the result is ${result}`);

          const a_after = globals.get("a");
          if (a_after)
            try {
              console.log(`After run, the value is ${a_after}.`);
            } catch (err: any) {
              console.error(err);
              console.log(`After run, the value is ${a_after.toJS()}.`);
            }

It failed to get the value of the global variable. But if the newCode assigned some value to vaiable "a", then the globals.get("a") would succeed afterwards.

It seems the namespace of Pyodide kernel is independent to that of pyodide.runPythonAsync().

Please clarify.

In some customized code, I ran the following Typescript code for testing:

Curious where you run this code?

[MRYingLEE]

I put my testing code in the function of async execute(content: any, parent: any) , with an if-else branch near

pyodide-kernel/packages/pyodide-kernel/src/worker.ts

Line 307 in 67a976f

const res = await this._kernel.run(content.code);

.

In future, the code will be run in a Jupyterlab frontend extension. For example, to let AI explain code along with the current values of the used global variables.
