Boolean Wont Work

[ljmetzger]

You've been bitten by the 'global feature' of Python. The following code will demonstrate one way to fix your problem.

def myFunction():
    p = True
    return

def myFunction2():
    global p
    p = True
    return

def myFunction3(p):
    p = True
    return p

p = False
myFunction()
print("p after myFunction = {}.".format(p))

p = False
myFunction2()
print("p after myFunction2 = {}.".format(p))

p = False
p = myFunction3(p)
print("p after myFunction3 = {}.".format(p))

Output:
p after myFunction = False.
p after myFunction2 = True.
p after myFunction3 = True.
