Jerzy <jer...@genesilico.pl> added the comment: I am not an expert. But for me it is much better. If you cannot delete the global variable in a function (del makes the variable local anyway). So trying to delete a global variable should raise an exception "Cannot delete a global variable" or something like that. In a function variable should be global till the place when you define a local one.
Example: a='Something' def f(): print a #prints the global variable a del a #Make an exception that a is global so it cannot be deleted a='anotherthing' #make a local a print a #print local a del a #delete local a print a #print global a f() Also, if there are two variable (global and local) with seme name, there should be a way to access either of them like 'print loc(a)' and 'print glob(a)'. This is just a suggestion Another way of resolving the problem would be making it impossible to make a local variable when there is anothe one with the same name. David W. Lambert pisze: > David W.
