does pyMel store/add the maya global vars anyplace?

globals like $gShelfForm or $gShelfTopLevel, etc

Should be the melGlobals object.
It works like a dict

So this should work

import pymel.core as pm
pm.melGlobals['$gShelfTopLevel']
# Result: 'MayaWindow|toolBar2|MainShelfLayout|formLayout14|ShelfLayout' #

cool, thanks Robert.

I was using the whole pm.eval trick for it and thought there has to be a smoother way
