this is probably drifting a bit far from the original question, but i have
used function scope to hide information "global" to a few functions. the
idea is to use a factory function that generates them all.
def factory():
a = 12
b = 34
def ifamultb(x):
if a == x:
return x * b
else:
return x
def somethinelse(x):
blah blah
(ifamultb, somethinelse) = factory()
that's off the top of my head. you might need to work around python's
stupid scoping rules with hidden params:
def ifamultb(x, a=a):
etc
