Inconsistency implicit type conversion #536

Affects: Both PythonCall and JuliaCall

Describe the bug
I am encountering inconsistent behavior with implicit type conversion when calling a Python function from Julia within a Python file. Specifically, I have observed that the variable 'global_res' is of type 'Julia Float64', whereas res is of type 'Py'. I expected both to be of the same type—Julia Float64—since they are both ultimately handled on the Julia side, where I assumed implicit conversion would occur uniformly. Here is the problematic code segment:

from juliacall import Main as jl

jl.seval("""
using PythonCall
    """)

jl.global_res = 0

def my_test(x):
    jl.global_res = x+1
    return x+1

jl.test_pyexec_fn = my_test

jl.seval("""
        function jl_add(x::Float64)
            res = test_pyexec_fn(x)
            println("typeof res:",typeof(res)) #typeof res:Py
            println("typeof global_res:",typeof(global_res)) #typeof global_res:Float64
            return res
        end
        """)

x = jl.jl_add(2.0)
