Is it possible to have a static variable in Python -
a local variable in a function that retains its value.
For example, suppose I have:
def set_bit (bit_index, bit_value):
static bits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
bits [bit_index] = bit_value
print "\tBit Array:"
int i
while (i < len(bits):
print bits[i],
print '\n'
I realize this can be implemented by making bits global, but can
this be done by making it private only internal to set_bit()? I don't
want bits to be reinitialized each time. It must retain the set values
for the next time it is called.
Thanks in advance:
