Question

I have an instance that has a dict. how can i modify the dict in a function, by the key from the dict?

class myclass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.mydict = {'number':0}

def myfunction(foo):
    foo.mydict[number] += 10 #<- doesnt work gives me 'global name number not defined' 


instance = myclass()
myfunction(instance)

hope you can help me,
thanks!

Actually, this has nothing to do with it being a class attribute:

foo.mydict['number'] += 10 

The key need to be a string.
