Hello,
I would like to suggest that globals should follow the existing rule
(followed by the import statement, the if statement and in other places)
for extending beyond 1 line using parentheses.
Like this:
globals (var_1, var_2,
var_3)
instead of what must be done now, which is:
globals var_1, var_2 \
var_3
The declaration keyword is 'global'; 'globals' is the built-in function.
In any case
global var_1, var_2
global var_3
works fine. There is no connection between the names and, unlike with
import, no operational efficiency is gained by mashing the statements
together.
This issue should be rare. The global statement is only needed when one
is rebinding global names within a function*. If a function rebinds 10
different global names, the design should probably be re-examined.
* 'global' at class scope seems useless.
a = 0
class C:
a = 1
has the same effect as
a = 0
a = 1
class C: pass
