I've read 'global variables' are bad. The ones that are defined as 'global' inside a function/method.
The argument that pops up every now and then is that they are hard to keep track of. I don't know Python well enough to argue with that. Just started learning it a few days ago, so I won't get into philosophical questions such as "why this? Why not that?". I'll take it as it is, just like I take 1 + 1 = 2 for granted. So..."global variables taste bad. Avoid them." But how do I get around it? How do I update and access a variable anytime I want? Any easy-to-follow examples?
