In python, there is no way to differentiate between arguments, local variables, and global variables. The easy way to do so might be have some coding convention such as

  • Global variables start with _ and capital letter
  • arguments end with with _
_Global variable = 10
def hello(x_, y_):
   z = x_ + y_

Is this a Pythonian way to go? I mean, is there well established/agreed coding-standards to differentiate them in python?
