How to have a global var in python ?
"global var" will give you a global variable named "var".
Whether this advice is correct or not depends greatly on what the OP means by 'global' :)
Module global, it's right, application global it's wrong. Given the nature of the question, I suspect the latter.
And even there, one must be careful. "global var" won't really give you a global variable; it will cause the name "var", when used locally, to refer to a pre-existing module-level reference "var". No variables are actually created in the execution of "global var".
