Hi all I don't understand globals between multiple modules in a python program. I really don't. I've narrowed it down to the following two very simple programs a.py and b.py. When I run a.py I get the following output:
inc: 2 A: 2 inc: 3 B: 3 C: 1 I don't understand the last line at all. Why is my x variable 1 after having been incremented twice? Is there more than one global space? Is this backreference to the original a.py not allowed? I could use some help. Thanks Bart van Deenen a.py: --------------------------------- import b x=1 def inc(): global x x+=1 print "inc: ",x if __name__=="__main__": b.test() print "C: ",x b.py: --------------------------------- def test(): import a a.inc() print "A: ",a.x a.inc() print "B: ",a.x -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
