Thank you all! After all, I found at least three more or less convenient alternatives:
1) Pass X as default parameter to F. 2) Set globals() from inside A, something like globals()['A_locals'] = locals() or globals()['A_X'] = X. Then access A_locals or A_X from F. 3) Use sys._getframe(1) or sys._getframe().f_back to get the caller frame. But the following won't work: > self.__class__.X Because there is no self around here, I'm not trying to access X from a class instance but instead from code running at class definition time. > class A: > ... X = 2 > ... print X Of course this will print X but the point was to do it from inside a function. Regards, Carlos -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
