This is about the knowledge I gathered before: You are right and the
only occurence of this variable is

       /usr/lib/zope/lib/python/Products/PhotoIptcExif/__init__.py

and there it is declared as global.  Unfortunately my knowledge is
to limited to understand this code, for example what this stuff
means:

    try:
        verbosedisplays = None
    except: pass

So the reason for the problem is clear but I'm afraid I'm unable to fix it.

(I guess the thread "Global Variables" is connected to this problem -
 because it is started by the author of the product. ;-) )

Kind regards

          Andreas.
