Oh, I see the problem.  I do assign to stored_data.  It works if I
comment out the last line.  I didn't think that would cause
"stored_data" to change scopes.  

Would Python 2.0 not have this problem?
 

def send_data():
  print stored_data[0]
  # open connection to server if not connected
  if not connected[0]:
    connect()
    connected[0] = TRUE

  for item in stored_data:
    # Convert to XML
    xml_data = XML_Pickler( item ).dumps()
    client.send( 'load' )
    # send server the data
    client.send( xml_data )        
    status = client.recv()
    if not int( status ):    # get recieved status
      print 'ERROR: %s not recieved' % item.__class__.__name__
  #end for item in stored_data

  #clear stored_data
  stored_data = []
#end def send_data
