Yet another noob question...
Is there a way to mimic C's static variables in Python? Or something
like it? The idea is to equip a given function with a set of
constants that belong only to it, so as not to clutter the global
namespace with variables that are not needed elsewhere.
For example, in Perl one can define a function foo like this
*foo = do {
my $x = expensive_call();
sub {
return do_stuff_with( $x, @_ );
}
};
In this case, foo is defined by assigning to it a closure that has
an associated variable, $x, in its scope.
Is there an equivalent in Python?
Thanks!
