Is there a way to hide global names from a function or class? I want to be sure that a function doesn't use any global variables by mistake. So hiding them would force a name error in the case that I omit an initialization step. This might be a good way to quickly catch some hard to find, but easy to fix, errors in large code blocks.
Examples: def a(x): # ... x = y # x is assigned to global y unintentionally. # ... return x def b(x): # hide globals somehow # ... x = y # Cause a name error # ... return x y = True >>>a(False): True >>>b(False): *** name error here *** Ron_Adam -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
