how to get static variables with ./analyzeHeadless (python api)

[Ruturaj4]

I have a simple code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  static   char buf[10] = "";


  /*  OK  */
  buf[9] = 'A';


  return 0;
}

I am using ghidra python api to get the variables used. Something like:

function.getStackFrame().getStackVariables()

But, buffer buf doesn't show up (it shows up in the ghidra gui, in the code disassembly section). Is there any way to get these using python api? My guess is that, as it is defined static it doesn't show up.

Edit:

I found that these variables are defined in the namespaces. So, in the case, buf is defined in namespaces->main->buf. I was able to get the namespace for the function - currentProgram.getSymbolTable().getNamespace(entrypoint), but was not able to find the variables.
