for x in range(3): pass After this statement is executed x is global variable. This seems very unnatural to me and caused me 3 three days of debugging because I was unintentionally using x further down in my program (typo). I would have thought that variables like this are local to the for block.
Is there a reason this is not the case? Maybe there are PEPs or something else about the matter that you can point me to? Regards, antoine -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
