I am a complete newbie to Python (and programming in general) and I have no idea what I'm missing. Below is a script that I am trying to work with and I cannot get it to work. When I call the final print function, nothing prints. However, if I print within the individual functions, I get the appropriate printout.
Am I missing something??? Thanks in advance!!!! ################################################ # Global variable sample_string = "" def gen_header(sample_string): HEADER = """ mymultilinestringhere """ sample_string += HEADER return sample_string def gen_nia(sample_string): NIA = """ anothermultilinestringhere """ sample_string += NIA return sample_string gen_header(sample_string) gen_nia(sample_string) print(sample_string) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
