I also want to know what is the difference between "using 'global
variables' in a py module" and "using a variable in class". For example:
In global.py:
foo = 1
def bar():
global foo
return foo + 1
In class.py
class Example:
def __init__(self):
self.foo = 1
def bar()
return self.foo + 1
Expect the syntax, why using class variable self.foo would be better (or
more common)? I think the 'global' here is relative, foo is global in
global.py and self.foo is global in Example class. If the global.py is
short and clean enough (didn't have a lot of other class), they are pretty
much the same. Or I missed something?
