Or, as Bearophile suggested, you could use the standard way of passing arguments into a function: >>> def tutu(): ... a = 2 ... def toto(a=a): ... print 'toto', a ... a = 4 ... print 'toto', a ... print 'tutu', a ... toto() ... print 'tutu', a ... >>> tutu() tutu 2 toto 2 toto 4 tutu 2 You could also just do 'toto(a)', but as you're trying to create a closure here, binding the external scope 'a' to toto via the default argument will (probably) do what you need. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
