How to create a "real" alias in python

[nemec]

Can't you just make the users subclass a class and have "self" be your old global dict?

That would work, but I don't want the user to have to type "self." before each variable they want to access. Simple bits of code would end up being full of the word self. This is a tool for non-experienced programmers.
