title: Do you use the "global" statement in Python?
body: <p>I was reading a question about the Python <em>global</em> statement ( <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/146359/python-scope">"Python scope"</a> ) and I was remembering about how often I used this statement when I was a Python beginner (I used <em>global</em> a lot) and how, nowadays, years later, I don't use it at all, ever. I even consider it a bit "un-pythonic".<br></p>
  
  <p>Do you use this statement in Python ? Has your usage of it changed with time ?</p>
