phase and refstrain at lines 33 and 34 are local variables, whereas l.
36 creates new global variables of that name. l. 49 refers to local
ones, as per scope search order (local, global, builtin).

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.
