Closures in Python

Question

I\'ve been trying to learn Python, and while I\'m enthusiastic about using closures in Python, I\'ve been having trouble getting some code to work properly:

Answer 1

You want to put global get at the beginning of every function (except get itself).

the def get is an assignment to the name get, so you want get to be declared global before that.

Putting global get in mfun and vset makes them work. I can't point to the scoping rules that makes this necessary, but it works ;-)

Your conses are quite lispy too... :)
