One thing that I've always wondered about, why can't one do:
def reset_foo():
global foo = [] # declare as global and do assignment
As Alex pointed out in another mail (I'm paraphrasing liberally):
redundancy is bad. By having to declare foo as global, there's
a guaranteed redundancy of the variable when foo is also assigned.
I don't know if this solution would make Alex dislike global less.
But it changes global to look more like a statement, rather than
a declaration.
