I want to use OPTIONS as a global var. In this particular case I am trying to set a global debug constant so I can have some debug logging happen when my program is run with a -debug option. what will actuall end up in OPTIONS is OPTIONS.debug = True as i am using optparse module.
Why not just make options a module?
Then you can do something like:
----- options.py ----- debug = False ----------------------
----- file1.py ----- import file2 import options
options.debug = True a = file2.class1() a.func1() --------------------
----- file2.py -----
import options
class class1(object):
def func1(self):
if options.debug:
print 'Debugging'
pass
--------------------Note that if you're trying to output debugging messges, you should really look into the logging module instead.
