    Status: Open => Answered

Klaus Thoeni proposed the following answer:
Hi,

not sure what you are trying to do with the second line but this should
work:

x = 1
y = 1
print x    # gives 1
print y    # gives 1

def func():
	global x     # here you define that x is global, hence you can change it inside the function
	x = 2
	y = 2      # Python assumes that any name that is assigned to, anywhere within a function, is local to that function unless explicitly told otherwise
	
func()
print x   # gives 2
print y   # gives 1

Also, in order to be sure you get the right answer you want your last
print outside the function.

Finally, this is not a YADE specific question, hence, next time please
look at the python documentation.

Klaus
