Status in Yet Another Dynamic Engine: New

Bug description:
As discussed in yade-dev list. Python globals will behave differently if there is a run() in the invoked script or not.

Here is a script. If you run it straightaway, it will print :

"refstrain= 2.0  (should be 2.0), phase= 1  (should be 1)"

Now, comment the two last lines and run it again (clicking "play" for instance, until it stops automatically or as soon as you see "Now εz will go from 0 to .2" output). Typing  "print refstrain,phase" will then return : 0.0 0, as if the "global" directive was ignored.
