New submission from Lukas Petru <[email protected]>:
Can "nonlocal x" declaration also reference global x? I would assume that
global scope automatically encloses all other scopes. But the nonlocal keyword
seems to exclude global scope. This seems counter-intuitive. (maybe bug in
implementation?)
For example:
x=0
def count(i):
nonlocal x; x+=i; return x;
Checking this code in IDLE gives: no binding for nonlocal 'x' found. If this is
what was intended, maybe it should be more clearly written in the documentation.
I am coming to Python from Lisp, so I am still learning Python's principles.
