nonlocal fails ?

Jan,

No, not really.    I was looking for method to let one procedure share a 
variable with its caller - or callers, selectable by me.   And as a "by 
reference" argument does not seem to exist in Python ...

And yes, I am a ware that procedures can return multiple results.  I just 
didn'want to go that way (using the same variable twice in a single 
calling).
