Mutable global variables don't get hide in python functions, right?
- by aXqd
Please see the following code:
def good():
foo[0] = 9 # why this foo isn't local variable who hides the global one
def bad():
foo = [9, 2, 3] # foo is local, who hides the global one
for func in [good, bad]:
foo = [1,2,3]
print('Before "{}": {}'.format(func.__name__, foo))
func()
print('After "{}": {}'.format(func.__name__, foo))
The result is as below:
# python3 foo.py
Before "good": [1, 2, 3]
After "good": [9, 2, 3]
Before "bad" : [1, 2, 3]
After "bad" : [1, 2, 3]
