Python变量在递归函数中的for循环后丢失值

Question

这是Python错误吗？变量在递归函数中的for循环后丢失值。这是测试代码。我真的在解析XML

def findversion(aNode, aList, aFlag):
    print "FindVersion ", aNode[0:1]
    print "Findversion ", aFlag
    if aNode[1].find('Software') != -1:
        aFlag = 1
        aList.append(aNode[1])
    if aFlag == 1 and aNode[0] == 'b':
        aList.append(aNode[1])
    print "Before for ", aFlag
    for elem in aNode[2:]:
        print "After for ", aFlag
        findversion(elem,aList,aFlag)

node = ['td', 'Software version']
node2 = ['b', '1.2.3.4' ]
node3 = [ 'td', ' ', node2 ]
node4 = [ 'tr', ' ', node, node3 ]
print node4

myList = list()
myInt = 0
findversion(node4,myList,myInt)
print "Main ",myList

在下面的程序输出中，我总是希望Before for输出与After for输出相同

程序输出：

['tr', ' ', ['td', 'Software version'], ['td', ' ', ['b', '1.2.3.4']]]
FindVersion  ['tr']
Findversion  0
Before for  0
After for  0
FindVersion  ['td']
Findversion  0

Before for  1
After for  0

FindVersion  ['td']
Findversion  0
Before for  0
After for  0
FindVersion  ['b']
Findversion  0
Before for  0
Main  ['Software version']

此After来自封闭的findversion调用：

...
print Before for 0
start iterating over aNode
   first td:
     print After for  0
     call findversion
       print FindVersion  ['td']
       print Findversion  0
       find Software, set aFlag = 1
       print Before for 1            <---
       start iterating over aNode
       it's empty
   second td:
     print After for  0              <---
     ...
