Potential dangerous bug introduced by programming in Python as if it

I used:
     ++tries
that has to be:
     tries += 1

Are there other things I have to be careful on? That does not work as
in C/Java, but is correct syntax.


One surprise for the new user is an otherwise handy rule of scope.
A variable in a function will by default access any global variables of
the same name *unless* it is assigned to in the function.

def glob():
        print "global:", foo

def loc():
        foo = 2
        print "local:", foo

def alt():
        global foo
        foo = 1
        print "altered:", foo

foo = 3

glob()
print "Original:", foo

loc()
print "Original:", foo

alt()
print "Original:", foo

################# Output ##################

global: 3
Original: 3
local: 2
Original: 3
altered: 1
Original: 1
