I can't reproduce this problem either.

==== pytest.py ====
def pytest(arg):
print(type(arg))

return arg.data()

[twf@fc22-vm tdi]$ tditest
_a=42
_a=42

pytest(_a)
pytest(_a)
<class 'MDSplus.ident.Ident'>

This is probably one for Tom.
The variable type "Ident" should not be passes as object of itself but
its content.
Or in short: Variables should be evaluated (one layer) before sending
to python.

_a=1
pytest(_a)

returns

""

instead of

""

since the variable does not exist inside the python environment
getting its value will fail

Hmm, after some resetting, it works now on my machine, too.
Thanks for testing and verifying that it should work.
