Global Variables Over Multiple Source Files

Jul 31 '11, 04:53 PM

So basically I can't seem to get global variables in functions I import from a different file.

Also are the only scopes in python classes and functions?
Or is there a way to set your own scopes.
Like in C++ you can put {} brackets anywhere you like.

Not unless the variable is declared global, which makes it an attribute of the module after the function is called as in:

Code:

import xyz xyz.f() xyz.f_var

Why not return the value of the variable? The use of classes with mutable attributes is my preference. That way you can have multiple variables directly accessible.
