I'd like to suggest "outer v" for this. The behavior could be to scan outward for the first definition of v. If the only outer-scope variable is at module-level, then the behavior would be the same as "global v". Or if everyone is comfortable enough re-using the keyword "global", then I also like "global v in f". _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev <at> python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/python-python-dev%40m.gmane.org
