Thanks for the answers.
I do understand (and verified) that if I define f2 within f1, it works
as expected. But in the "learning pyton 2nd edition" at page 205 it is
said that "Programs are much simpler if you do not nest defs within
defs" (juste before the code mentioned in my initial message).
I have a problem understanding the scope of variable in nested
function. I think I got it nailed to the following example copied from
Learning Python 2nd edition page 205. Here is the code.
def f1() :
x=88
f2()
def f2() :
print 'x=',x
f1()
that returns an error saying that "NameError:
Hello,
I have file called PARAMETRES that is used in bourne shell script to

Now, I would like to be able to get the same thing in python. I

Hello,
I am using a program that has to read binary data from files coming
from different machines. The file are always written with big endian.
I am using the struct module to read the data and it is fine because I
can specify in the format if the data are to be read with big or small
endian co
