python - Using a Value declared within a function, outside of the function -

if defined function this:

def plop(plop):     ploplop = 1234     if plop == ploplop:          print "i plopped" 

how take ploplop outside of scope of function?

you return it, , capture on other side.

def plop(plop):     ploplop = 1234     if plop == ploplop:          print "i plopped"     return plopplop  someval = plop(1235)
