I was reading in the documentation about __del__ and have a couple of

What is globals referring to in the following text from that reference
page?

Globals are variables that have toplevel module scope. Basically, any
assignments, function definitions, or class definitions with no
indentation from the left margin will create a global variable. If you
can get at the variable by appending something of the form
"\nSomeIdentifierHere\n" to the module's file, and it's not a built-in
function, then it's a global.

Actually, the amount of indentation doesn't matter. What matters is whether it's within a 'def' or 'class' statement or not.
