Global statement

Used when you use the global statement to update a global variable. Pylint just try to discourage this usage. That doesn't mean you cannot use it!

Noncompliant Code:

Copy
var = 1
def foo():
    global var
    print(var)
    var = 10
    print(var)
foo()
print(var)

Compliant Code:

Copy
var = 1
def foo(x):
    print(var)
    return 10
var = foo()
print(var)
