Python—global vs local variables

# num1 is a global variable


num1 = 1
print num1


# num2 is a local variable


def fun():
    num1 = 2
    num2 = num1 + 1
    print num2
    
fun()


# the scope of global num1 is the whole program, num 1 remains defined
print num1


# the scope of the variable num2 is fun(), num2 is now undefined
print num2

结果：

1
3
1
 NameError: name 'num2' is not defined

example2：

num = 4

def fun1():
    global num
    num = 5
    
def fun2():
    global num
    num = 6

# note that num changes after each c
