THis is my rant on Python as I'm helping someone learn it for use in ML.
Did you know that a Python variable declared in the .py file is global to that file?
For example:
def printGlobal():
print(str(extra))
extra = 35
printGlobal()
extra = "Python are stupid."
class Arsinine:
def __init__(self):
print(extra)
a = Arsinine()
Imagine if that .py file grew to be even just long enough to be off the screen. You might do something else with the extra variable and create odd issues since it is global.
Or, if there is more than one dev working on the code.
It's quite terrible.
Objects are for the express point of encapsulation, but you don't get that here.
I know, the class should be created in another file and all that.

I do not know what kind of mind created this language and why you would want everything on the global scope like that. But here is a snapshot of comment from SO who are are chiming in that globals are not dangerous...
*Are these people devs[^]? Do they understand anything?
I guess they've all been fortunate enough to only work on their own code. 
Yes, yes, anything can be used properly or improperly, but this makes it a bit difficult to use it properly. Probably proof that Python is a kiddie language that isn't concerned about creating larger programs. (I'm expecting to receive the fire after that comment.)

I think that's what they call "soft trolling".

If you compare it to Eddy Vluggen's trolling, I think you'll agree that it's soft.

As well you should. My momma says I'm special.
But in seriousness, there are times when globals make sense. That's all the comment was saying, I believe.

Agree...
But if python really behaves as raddevus is saying, then it is a bit odd and might give problems faster than in other languages regarding to this topic

No, but also injection is a kind of global behavior in the broadest sense
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Ok,I might concede on that point.  However, writing the code to do injection is far more extensive than just writing:
extra = "i am global"
Barriers to entry are necessary.

Global constants, yes. 
Global variables, no.

Global variables being defined by you... still might be ok.
Every variable being global in the whole file / "class" where they are defined without you making it on purpose... is looking for problems.

It might be useful to avoid "out" parameters or overcomplicating things
I think it is like "goto" using it with moderation can be helpful and a still a "good" approach, use it without care and you will shoot in your foot or somewhere worse.
