I try to to implement a "static variable" inside a function: def main(): a(1) a(2) a() print(a.x) if 'a.x' in globals(): print('global variable') if 'a.x' in locals(): print('local variable') def a(x=None): if not x is None: a.x = x print(':',a.x) main() When I run this code, I get: : 1 : 2 : 2 2 This is exactly what I expect. But what is a.x? It is neither a variable in globals() nor in locals()
a.x is an attribute of the object a. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
