Class Access to Global Variables in Python

Question

Is there a way to give classes access to global variables in python without passing it as a parameter? The following is what I want to do:

# Global
data = []

# Class
Foo:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name = data[0]

# Main
data = ["name", "name2"]
f = Foo()

Riftus not really a duplicate; in that case, the user was creating a new variable with the same name; here, as BrenBarn notes, this works fine if you properly do class Foo: and def init ... however still voting to close as this is a typo — Foon

I just typed that pseudo code up really quickly, that's why there was the def error. My issue was that I didn't declare data as a global within the function.
