this is intriguing. How does it work?
not a rhetorical question, but where in the python doc can i read about
it?
The tutorial, presumably, since there is nothing here
that isn't covered by the most basic aspects of Python

A quicker way:
def myFun(globe=[0]):
globe[0] += 1
return globe[0]

I believe python docs are quite *un*-stilted. Modules and packages are
not complicated. Read chapter 7 of the nutshell, it's only 10 pages
long. 2.3 and 2.4 didn't introduce any fundamental changes in how
modules work AFAIK

You can do this:
globe=0

You could work with function attributes:
def myFun():
try:myFun.globe += 1
except: myFun.globe =
and make it a singleton, viz:

Yes. There's no concept of a 'static' function variable as such, but
there are many other ways to achieve the same thing.

The short answer is to use the global statement:
globe=0
def myFun():
global globe
globe=globe+1
return globe
more elegant is:
globe=0
globe=myfun(globe)
def myFun(var):
return var+1
and still more elegant is using classes
