#! python

global case_number, other
case_number = 0

def myFunc():
     global case_number
     case_number += 1

Untested.

But if you have a lot of them, you will have a better time creating a 
separate module for all these and import it or have a dict holding 
all of them.

#! python

myvars = {'case_number': 0,
     'other': 1
     }

def myFunc(vars):
     vars['case_number'] += 1

result = myFunc(myvars)
