[elbe-devel] [PATCH 02/13] pylint - directories: annotate usage of global

[Manuel Traut]

global is really what should be used there. Because
the values should be accessible by other modules.

It would be feasable to rewrite the code to be a class
and use class variables for this. But i don't really
see a reason for this.
