If I understand you correctly, you want `tmp' to be global...
If so, declare it as so in execute ->
def execute():
global tmp
tmp = tmp+1
return tmp
Otherwise, what happens is that you declare a variable local to
execute, that is named tmp. When the assignment occurs it uses the
global value of `tmp', which is 0, and adds it to the *local* tmp.
I hope that is not too confusing.
