Thanks Chris! At least my code isn't (quite!) as bad as the xkcd example :) Guess my "concern" is using the initialized array in the function: def myfunct(a, b, c=array[0,1,2,3] ) always feels like an abuse. Has anyone seriously considered implementing a true static variable in a function? Is there a PEP?
You can emulate a static variable is with a closure. def make_parseStack(): depth = 0 def parseStack(inc): nonlocal depth if depth > 50: ... report error and die nicely depth += inc return parseStack parseStack = make_parseStack() -- Antoon Pardon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
