I agree with the previous comments that this approach is "bad form".
But if you absolutely *must* modify an enclosing function's variables
with an inner function, all you need to do is remember that a Python
function is an object too, so it can be assigned attributes. ;-)
def outer():
outer.x = 1
print outer.x
def inner():
outer.x = 2
inner()
print outer.x
I see two problems:
- Concurrency: two or more threads executing the same function,
writing to this "global"
- Can't be used (easily) on methods
On the original question, I would inherit from list:
> def addTok():
> if len(tok) > 0:
> ls.append(tok)
> tok = ''
>
>
class mylist(list)
def addTok(self, tok):
if len(tok)>0:
self.append(tok)
tok = ''
return tok
ls = mylist()
and use: tok = ls.addTok(tok) whenever the original code says addTok(tok)
