if __debug__:
  ~S=0

S=5 #error in non-debug mode.
print S

That's not the same I suppose from the beginning, but it also can be helpfull.
More exactly, it is not 'variable declaration' but 'variable definition'.

It was not an insult. It is not in my rules, as I said before. It's just an
advice. "global" is in Python, but he is still alive - hence it's not as big

Well, for python community - 0. Now, you can only read my messages and think
about them. After all, idiot who made contribution is still idiot, isn't it?
