python global \ code example

Example 1: how to make a variable global in python

x = 5 #Any variable outside a function is a global variable

def GLOBAL():
	global y #if a variable is inside a function, use the 'global' keyword
    y = 10 # now this variable (y) is global

Example 2: python global import

>>> math
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'math' is not defined
>>> def f():
...     global math
...     import math
...
>>> f()
>>> math
<module 'math' from '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/math.so'>
