5. The variable wd is meant to be "global" to the script. In other
languages I've programmed in I've seen some typographic convention
used for the name of such variables (e.g. all caps) to signal this
widened scope. Does python have such a convention?
As a general rule, it's best to avoid globals variables as much as
possible.
One convention I occasionally use is to prefix global variables with a
lowercase g. And then ruthlessly refactor my code until any variable
starting with a lowercase g is removed :)
You (the OP) don't seem to know about PEP 8, which advises 4-space
indents, all-caps constants, and many more style specifics.
