This has to be easier than I'm making it.... I've got a module, remote.py, which contains a number of classes, all of whom open a port for communication. I'd like to have a way to coordinate these port numbers akin to this:
So I have this in the __init__.py file for a package called cstore: nextport=42000 def getNextPort(): nextport += 1 return nextport : Then, in the class where I wish to use this (in cstore.remote.py): : class Spam(): def __init__(self, **kwargs): self._port = cstore.getNextPort() I can't seem to make this work, though. As given here, I get an "UnboundLocalError:local variable 'nextport' referenced before assignment". When I try prefixing the names inside __init__.py with "cstore.", I get an error that the global name "cstore" is not defined. I've been looking at this long enough that my eyes are blurring. Any ideas? BTW, the driving force here is that I'm going to need to wrap this in some thread synchronization. For now, though, I'm just trying to get the basics working. Thanks!
