Names do not 'exist' in Python, nor do they have types. They are bound to objects that have types. Learn to program Python as Python, not one of those languages with a quite different model of names and values. | > def somefunc(): | > nonlocal = nonlocal Syntax error in 3.0.

The only 'declarations' in Python, 'global' and 'nonlocal' are for the specialized purpose of *binding* names that are not in the local namespace of a function or nested function. They are only needed because otherwise names that get bound are otherwise assumed to be local. See the language ref section on function defs. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
