I got a iterated function like this:
def iterSomething(list):
has_something = False
for cell in list:
if something in cell:
has_something = True
output = something
if has_something:
iterSomething(output)
else:
final_out = outupt
The problem is how can I read this final_out outside of the function.
I tried the global statement, it seems not work. Any idea?

I don't think this function will iterate the way you intend. You
probably won't get many helpful suggestions until you define more
precisely the nature of alist. Right now the function assumes single
item lists only and will fail with an exception if something is not
contained in the deepest list. E.g., only this type of situation is allowed:
[[somethign]]
or
[[[something]]]
or
[[[[something]]]]
etc.
Anything else gives an exception.
For example, this will fail with an exception:
[[1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9]]
Is that really what you want?
Hint: you need to test whether you can iterate over the elements alist.
Also, use something like "alist" and not "list" because "list" is a
reserved word.
