Hi,
I would like to do the following:
-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------
def test ():
count = 0
def inc_count ():
count += 1
inc_count ()
inc_count ()
print count
test ()
-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------
This doesn't work (and I even understand, why ;-)
One solution is the following, which I however do not see as very
clean or nice.
-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------
def test ():
count = [0]
def inc_count ():
count[0] += 1
inc_count ()
inc_count ()
print count[0]
test ()
-------8<-------8<-------8<-------8<-------
Now my question: Is there some way to achieve this with a nicer
syntax?
Using 'global' would not count, as that would make a variable
unnecessarily known to the outside.
Thanks,
Sebastian
