I am embedding Python using PythonEngine.Exec to run code read from a file which seems to be losing global scope.

string code;
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(scriptFile, Encoding.UTF8)) {
   code = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
 
using (Py.GIL()) {
    PythonEngine.Exec(code)
}

The python code contains two classes:

class Test1():
   pass

class Test2():
   def __init__(self):
       Test1()

Test2()

Error:

NameError: name 'Test1' is not defined
