Is this concidered bad coding practice since I guess persistent
variables in functions are not meant to be?
I don't think so, since Python proudly says that functions are
first-class objects.
CherryPy does a similar thing to mark a method as "exposed".
But perhaps I'd write the code this way to avoid an unneeded and
risky recursive call:
def doStuff(some, arguments, may, *be, **required):
try:
doStuff.timesUsed += 1
except AttributeError:
doStuff.timesUsed = 1
# ... special case for first call ...
# ...common code...
If you need to code something special for the 2nd and following
calls, add an else: clause
