What about this Prothon code:

    def f():
            if 'static' not in f.attrs_:
                    f.static = 0
            f.static += 1

            tmp = f.static
            def outer.f():
                    f.static += 1
                    return f.static
            f.static = tmp

            return f.static

    print f()  # 1
    print f()  # 2
    print f()  # 3

I'm sure Python can do this better so please don't barrage me with replies
saying so.  I'm not going to brag this time :-)
