Get variable without executing IronPython script

Is there a way to retrieve a global variable defined by the script writer without actually executing the script? e.g only Compile the code

If I understand you correctly, you essentially want to execute just some initial parts of script before executing something upon that. What I would do is the following, given that I operate on a scope variable instead of "global" variable.

    [Test]
    public void TestPythonDymanicCall()
    {
        string customScript = @"
            scriptScopeVar1 = 3
            def executeSomething():
                global scriptScopeVar1
                scriptScopeVar1 = scriptScopeVar1 + 1
        ".unindent();
        var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
        var scope = engine.CreateScope();
        engine.Execute(customScript, scope);
        Assert.AreEqual(3, engine.Execute("scriptScopeVar1", scope));
        engine.Execute("executeSomething()", scope);
        Assert.AreEqual(4, engine.Execute("scriptScopeVar1", scope));
    }
