If you must, function attributes emulate static:
def myfunc():
myfunc.foo += 1
return myfunc.foo
myfunc.foo=0 #initialize the value near the function definition
>>> print myfunc()
1
>>> print myfunc()
2
etc
But it's usually a bad idea to use this. function attributes are
better reserved for information about the function itself (similar to
docstrings).
