Looking for suggestions on improving numpy code

I am starting to use numpy and have written a hack for reading in a large data set that has 8 columns and millions of rows. I want to read and process a single column. I have written the very ugly hack below, but am sure there is a more efficient and pythonic way to do this. The file is too

Re: global variables: to be or not to be

Another way to avoid using global variables is to return more than one values from the function. Here is an example that may help you to understand it: def foo(a, b, c): a += c b += c return a, b a = 5 b = 10 c = 2 print a, b a, b = foo(a, b, c) print a, b regards, Subeen. http://l

global variables: to be or not to be

I've read 'global variables' are bad. The ones that are defined as 'global' inside a function/method. The argument that pops up every now and then is that they are hard to keep track of. I don't know Python well enough to argue with that. Just started learning it a few days ago, so I won't get i
