This issue is also discussed on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/q/3828611/320057 The following code def top(deck): pass def b(): global deck results in the error "SyntaxError: name 'deck' is local and global" (slightly different for 3.x). This is strange by itself, and is caused by special namespace behaviour attached to the "top" symbol. Renaming the "top" function actually solves the error! More technical details are in the stackoverflow link above.

The following code

def top(deck):
    pass

def b():
    global deck

results in the error "SyntaxError: name 'deck' is local and global" (slightly different for 3.x). This is strange by itself, and is caused by special namespace behaviour attached to the "top" symbol. Renaming the "top" function actually solves the error!
