I am puzzled by what appears to be a scope issue - obviously I have
something wrong :-)
Why does this work:
if __name__ == 'main':
execfile('test-data.py')
print data
and yet this doesn't (I get "NameError: global name 'data' not
defined"):
def X():
execfile('test-data.py')
print data
where test-data.py is:
data = [1,2,3,4]
I checked help on execfile and could only find the following
(mystifying) sentence:
"execfile() cannot be used reliably to modify a function’s locals."
Thanks
Peter
