x is easy - it was declared outside, in module scope, and you modified it after declaring it global. The others are more subtle, and have to do with how the interpreter searches for stuff - first in the local scope, then up the stack in the callers scope, up to finally in the module global scope. That also explains why, if it is not found, you get an error message that says "Global variable xxxxx not defined" (try it and see) - Hendrik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
