use of global

[steve_shambles]

I too struggler with using classes and I too don't like to use global statements.
To get around this I use a very simple class (that even I can understand)
to hold all the variables and thus making the variables global without using
the global statement.
Note: This way will be very much frowned upon by Python developers, but
I find it a useful stop-gap until IU can properly get my head around classes.

Example:

class Glo:
    '''global store, this makes these vars global,e.g Glo.var'''
    save_on = True
    stop_thread = False
    file_name = ""
    file_inc = 0
    image_count = 0
    grab_secs = 2
    max_images = 7200

Then I can use the variables like this:
Glo.max_images +=1
if Glo.grab_secs etc....
