Global variables are not explained on failure #171
Description
Originally reported by: Floris Bruynooghe (BitBucket: flub, GitHub: flub)
A global variable is not expanded in the explanation on failure:
var = 7
def test_global():
val = 42
assert var == val
Results in:
$ py.test test_global.py

I would expect the "E" line to say "assert 7 == 42".
