def myFunc():
d={}
myFunc()
If I try to access the variable d after calling this function, I get "NameError: name 'd' is not defined."
Why is this and what is the proper way to access a variable defined within a function?

2`d` is a local name. Why not *return* it from the function if you need it outside the call? – Martijn Pieters Mar 09 '17 at 21:20

@MartijnPieters What I'd like to do is use d in another function, having performed some manipulations on it in myFunc. – user3058703 Mar 09 '17 at 21:31

@MartijnPieters so myFunc is called in myFunc2 to access d and do other things with it – user3058703 Mar 09 '17 at 21:32

I see I can just assign another variable to the function call when return has been assigned. Thank you – user3058703 Mar 09 '17 at 21:34
