I thought I better test putting arbitrary things in globals.

This template works:

python:
def evaluate(self, **kwargs):
	mi = kwargs['book']
	db = kwargs['db']
	g = kwargs['globals']
	v = g.get('_mything', dict())
	v['someting'] = {1,2,3,4}
	g['_mything'] = v
	print(g)
	print(mi.authors)
	print('aaa', db.path(mi.id, index_is_id=True))
	s = self.get_default_if_none(mi, 'series', '**no series**')
    return s + ':::' + str(self.get_default_if_none(mi, '#myint', 999))

def get_default_if_none(self, mi, field, default):
	v = mi.get(field, None)
	return default if v is None else v

It prints

{'_mything': {'someting': {1, 2, 3, 4}}}
['The 10 Angry Men']
aaa The 10 Angry Men\_Unknown_ (1444)

The first line shows that globals['_mything'] contains a dict containing a set.
