So, if I understand correctly, in the presence of a global statement search
just goes up the lexical chain looking for the first occurrence of the
variable to modify?
x = 0
def f():
x = 1
def g():
global x
x = 2
print x
g()
print x
f()
print x
Today it prints
2
1
2
You're suggesting it will print
2
2
0
?
Sounds reasonable to me. If we're talking py3k I'd chuck "global" as a
keyword though and replace it with something like "outer".
