accessing “module scope” vars

Question

I\'m currently learning Python, and I have to work on a Python 2.7 project.

Accessing \"module scope\" variables in functions of the module itself is a bit confusing

Answer 1

Importing a module within itself can have unwanted side effects (like evaluating statements more than once.) I would suggest using "Way 1" and a tool like pylint to help verify your code and enforce common practices.
