Hi, Is it possible somehow to change a varible by passing it to a function?
I tried this: def change_var(dict0, varname, val): dict0[varname] = val def test(): a = 100 change_var(locals(), 'a', 3) print a But test() didn't work, the value a remains 100. I have several variables initialized to None. I need to convert each one of them an object only if it is None. something like: if not var1: var1 = MyObject() I want this to be a function, that is: def create_obj(var): if not var: var = MyObj() # set properties of var Now, I know I can achieve this by functional programming, def create_obj(var): if not var: x = MyObj() # set properties of x return x return var and then var = creaet_obj(var) Is there another way?
