Are there any declaration keywords in Python?

Question

Are there any declaration keywords in python, like local, global, private, public etc. I know it\'s type free but how do you know if this statement:

x = 5;
         


        

Answer 1

I just realized there's a more direct answer too:

x = 5

def test():
    print 'x' in globals()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test()

So if 'variablename' in globals(): the statement is an assignment otherwise the statement is a declaration
