'no way' is a bit strong. You can use hacks such as the one I posted a
couple of weeks back:
>>> import hack
>>> def F():
l = 'hello there'
def get():
return l
return hack.mksetter(lambda: l), get
>>> set, get = F()
>>> get()
'hello there'
>>> set('testing')
'testing'
>>> get()
'testing'
'no official, supported, or portable way' would be more accurate.
I've never actually felt the need to set variables from inside a nested
function, and I wouldn't use a hack like this in production code unless
there was a *very* good reason for it, but since I figured out how to
actually do it I'm suprised just how many things could actually be
simplified if there was an official way to do this.
