do: nonlocal x k = init for i in list: k = f(i,k) n = f2(n,k)
You may need to elaborate a bit, especially as you have a declaration regarding 'x' and never use x anywhere. But if, as I suspect, you intend for this to have local k/i/n and fetch init/list/f/f2 from its parent scope, then this is something that's been discussed a few times. With the current implementation of CPython, the easiest and cleanest way to do this is with a closure. You could spell 'do' like this: def do(f): f() @do def _(): nonlocal x k = init for i in list: k = f(i,k) n = f2(n,k) Put that inside a function and it'll do most of what I think you're saying. ChrisA
