I cannot make sense of what's happening here ...  I'm getting the

At least in Py3 you can declare the variable as 'global', like this:

    global lastModifiedTime

within the function.

Actually, what you're looking for in py3 is the "nonlocal" keyword, which addresses this precise situation. Using "global" would mark the variable as *global* -- top-level module namespace.

Thanks, I didn't see that. I thought it was a global.


nonlocal (within "handler") would make the assignment apply to the enclosing scope lastModifiedTime, instead.


Cheers,
