Are there any declaration keywords in Python?

Question

Are there any declaration keywords in python, like local, global, private, public etc. I know it\'s type free but how do you know if this statement:

x = 5;
         


        

Answer 1

It's worth mentioning that there is a global keyword, so if you want to refer to the global x:

x = 4
def foo():
    x = 7 # x is local to your function

You need to do this:

x = 4
def foo():
    global x # let python know you want to use the top-level x
    x = 7
