That's one solution but its not a very good one. Global variables are not considered good practice for many reasons. In particular, they make code reuse difficult and if you ever need to use your code in a multi-threaded environment, to improve performance say, they are nearly impossible to work with. It's much better to pass the required value out of the function as a return value. > regret the inconvenience caused. No inconvenience, its what the list is here for! :-) hth -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
