Hi. Sorry to sound like a noob but that's what I am when it comes to
Python. I just wrote the below module and it behaves funny.
My python module:
_exitcode = 0
def setExitCode():
_exitcode = 1
if __name__ == '__main__':
print _exitcode
setExitCode()
print _exitcode
Actual O/P:
0
0
I expected to see an output of 0 followed by 1. But it turns out that
the _exitcode variable is not changed at all. It seems that
setExitCode() might be editing a local copy of the _exitcode variable.
But then, how do I tell it to change the value of the module variable
and not its local variable.
I've been through the modules section of Python docs and a few ebooks
as well, all suggest that it shouldn't be working this way.
Please help out ppl.
Thanks
