well mypyc compiles to C code. you can inspect it in build/__native.c
search for something like "fudebopeva.py", "<module>", 42
and you'll find the code it generates for line 42
so it's doing this
cpy_r_r147 = CPyStatics[17]; /* 'DEFAULT_TOKEN' */
cpy_r_r148 = CPyDict_GetItem(cpy_r_r146, cpy_r_r147);
which looks a lot like it's looking up DEFAULT_TOKEN in the globals dict
