You could work with function attributes: def myFun(): try: myFun.globe += 1 except: myFun.globe = 1 return myFun.globe or with a default function argument: class Dummy: pass def myFun(globe=Dummy()): try: globe.globe += 1 except: globe.globe = 1 return globe.globe Reinhold -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
