using 'global' across source files.

[Bram Stolk]

Remco,

Many thanks for your reply.
However, your suggested changes do not fix the problem.

I have now:

# funcs.py

def change_val() :
  global val
  val = val * 2



# prog.py

val = 100

import funcs


funcs.change_val()
print val


However, this gives me:

bram at gazoo> python -i prog.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "prog.py", line 7, in ?
    funcs.change_val()
  File "funcs.py", line 5, in change_val
    val = val * 2
NameError: There is no variable named 'val'
