Last solution being to use a closure: def make_bits(): bits = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] def set_bit(bit_index, bit_value): bits[bit_index] = bit_values def get_bits(): # returns a copy so we don't overwrite return bits[:] return set_bit, get_bits set_bit, get_bits = make_bits() But the better solution is probably to make it a class. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
