Not quite. To change the global value in a function you also need to declare it as global inside the function. Otherwise it will create a new local variable that has no effect on the global one. Also by declaring a parameter of your function with the same name as the global you confuse things. Don't do that.

Interesting concept. And if the other peoples files are calling your functions with values in those parameters you will just ignore them I presume? Hmmm, that should produce some interesting results... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ Playing with gnus and possibly screwing it up!! _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
