why does this not work!!! AAARRRGH!!!!!!!!

[Matthew Banham]

why does the following code (declared in a module) not work when I call
myfunc?

global myglobalvar
myglobalvar = 101

def myfunc():
        myglobalvar = myglobalvar + 1

It gives an Unbound Local Error in the myglobalvar = myglobalvar + 1 line

It's driving me madd
aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yours Sincerely,
Matthew Banham
