Hello, Can somebody explain this strange (to me) effect please.
In this program it is impossible to access a global variable within a function: $ cat /tmp/test.py x='xxx' def f(): print x del x f() $ python /tmp/test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/test.py", line 6, in <module> f() File "/tmp/test.py", line 3, in f print x UnboundLocalError: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment But if we comment the del operator the program will work: $ cat /tmp/test.py x='xxx' def f(): print x #del x f() $ python /tmp/test.py xxx So why in this example the print operator is influenced by del operator that should be executed after it? -- Thanks, Alexei -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
