#: faq/programming.rst:148
msgid ""
"This is because when you make an assignment to a variable in a scope, that "
"variable becomes local to that scope and shadows any similarly named "
"variable in the outer scope.  Since the last statement in foo assigns a new "

"In the example above you can access the outer scope variable by declaring it "

#: faq/programming.rst:194
msgid ""
"In Python, variables that are only referenced inside a function are "

"global."
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:198
msgid ""
"Though a bit surprising at first, a moment's consideration explains this.  "
"On one hand, requiring :keyword:`global` for assigned variables provides a "
"bar against unintended side-effects.  On the other hand, if ``global`` was "
"required for all global references, you'd be using ``global`` all the time.  "
"You'd have to declare as global every reference to a built-in function or to "
"a component of an imported module.  This clutter would defeat the usefulness "
"of the ``global`` declaration for identifying side-effects."

"Why do lambdas defined in a loop with different values all return the same "

msgid ""
"Assume you use a for loop to define a few different lambdas (or even plain "

msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:217
msgid ""
"This gives you a list that contains 5 lambdas that calculate ``x**2``.  You "

"``1``, ``4``, ``9``, and ``16``.  However, when you actually try you will "
"see that they all return ``16``::"
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:227
msgid ""
"This happens because ``x`` is not local to the lambdas, but is defined in "
"the outer scope, and it is accessed when the lambda is called --- not when "
"it is defined.  At the end of the loop, the value of ``x`` is ``4``, so all "
"the functions now return ``4**2``, i.e. ``16``.  You can also verify this by "
"changing the value of ``x`` and see how the results of the lambdas change::"
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:237
msgid ""
"In order to avoid this, you need to save the values in variables local to "
"the lambdas, so that they don't rely on the value of the global ``x``::"
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:244
msgid ""
"Here, ``n=x`` creates a new variable ``n`` local to the lambda and computed "
"when the lambda is defined so that it has the same value that ``x`` had at "
"that point in the loop.  This means that the value of ``n`` will be ``0`` in "
"the first lambda, ``1`` in the second, ``2`` in the third, and so on. "
"Therefore each lambda will now return the correct result::"

msgid "How do I share global variables across modules?"
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:262
msgid ""
"The canonical way to share information across modules within a single "
"program is to create a special module (often called config or cfg).  Just "
"import the config module in all modules of your application; the module then "
"becomes available as a global name.  Because there is only one instance of "

#: faq/programming.rst:290

"In general, don't use ``from modulename import *``.  Doing so clutters the "

msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:294
msgid ""
"Import modules at the top of a file.  Doing so makes it clear what other "
"modules your code requires and avoids questions of whether the module name "

"It is sometimes necessary to move imports to a function or class to avoid "

msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:309
msgid ""
"Circular imports are fine where both modules use the \"import <module>\" "
"form of import.  They fail when the 2nd module wants to grab a name out of "
"the first (\"from module import name\") and the import is at the top level.  "
"That's because names in the 1st are not yet available, because the first "
"module is busy importing the 2nd."
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:315
msgid ""
"In this case, if the second module is only used in one function, then the "
"import can easily be moved into that function.  By the time the import is "
"called, the first module will have finished initializing, and the second "
"module can do its import."
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:320
msgid ""
"It may also be necessary to move imports out of the top level of code if "
"some of the modules are platform-specific.  In that case, it may not even be "
"possible to import all of the modules at the top of the file.  In this case, "
"importing the correct modules in the corresponding platform-specific code is "
"a good option."
msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:325
msgid ""
"Only move imports into a local scope, such as inside a function definition, "
"if it's necessary to solve a problem such as avoiding a circular import or "
"are trying to reduce the initialization time of a module.  This technique is "
"especially helpful if many of the imports are unnecessary depending on how "
"the program executes.  You may also want to move imports into a function if "
"the modules are only ever used in that function.  Note that loading a module "
"the first time may be expensive because of the one time initialization of "
"the module, but loading a module multiple times is virtually free, costing "
"only a couple of dictionary lookups.  Even if the module name has gone out "
"of scope, the module is probably available in :data:`sys.modules`."

msgstr ""

#: faq/programming.rst:351

"It is often expected that a function call creates new objects for default "

"Because of this feature, it is good programming practice to not use mutable "
