您可以向函数添加属性，并将其用作静态变量。

def myfunc():
  myfunc.counter += 1
  print myfunc.counter

# attribute must be initialized
myfunc.counter = 0

或者，如果你不想在函数外部设置变量，你可以使用hasattr()来避免AttributeError异常:

def myfunc():
  if not hasattr(myfunc, "counter"):
     myfunc.counter = 0  # it doesn't exist yet, so initialize it
  myfunc.counter += 1

无论如何，静态变量是相当罕见的，您应该为这个变量找到一个更好的位置，最有可能是在类中。

米格尔·安吉洛的自我重新定义解决方案甚至可以不需要任何装饰:

def fun(increment=1):
    global fun
    counter = 0
    def fun(increment=1):
        nonlocal counter
        counter += increment
        print(counter)
    fun(increment)

fun()    #=> 1
fun()    #=> 2
fun(10)  #=> 12

第二行必须进行调整，以获得有限的范围:

def outerfun():
    def innerfun(increment=1):
        nonlocal innerfun
        counter = 0
        def innerfun(increment=1):
            nonlocal counter
            counter += increment
            print(counter)
        innerfun(increment)

    innerfun()    #=> 1
    innerfun()    #=> 2
    innerfun(10)  #=> 12

outerfun()

装饰器的优点是，你不必额外注意你的施工范围。

在尝试了几种方法后，我最终使用了@warvariuc的答案的改进版本:

import types

def func(_static=types.SimpleNamespace(counter=0)):
    _static.counter += 1
    print(_static.counter)

其他答案已经演示了您应该如何做到这一点。这里有一种方法你不应该:

>>> def foo(counter=[0]):
...   counter[0] += 1
...   print("Counter is %i." % counter[0]);
... 
>>> foo()
Counter is 1.
>>> foo()
Counter is 2.
>>> 

默认值仅在函数第一次求值时初始化，而不是每次执行时初始化，因此可以使用列表或任何其他可变对象来存储静态值。

我个人更喜欢下面的装饰。各有各的。

def staticize(name, factory):
    """Makes a pseudo-static variable in calling function.

    If name `name` exists in calling function, return it. 
    Otherwise, saves return value of `factory()` in 
    name `name` of calling function and return it.

    :param name: name to use to store static object 
    in calling function
    :type name: String
    :param factory: used to initialize name `name` 
    in calling function
    :type factory: function
    :rtype: `type(factory())`

    >>> def steveholt(z):
    ...     a = staticize('a', list)
    ...     a.append(z)
    >>> steveholt.a
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
    AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'a'
    >>> steveholt(1)
    >>> steveholt.a
    [1]
    >>> steveholt('a')
    >>> steveholt.a
    [1, 'a']
    >>> steveholt.a = []
    >>> steveholt.a
    []
    >>> steveholt('zzz')
    >>> steveholt.a
    ['zzz']

    """
    from inspect import stack
    # get scope enclosing calling function
    calling_fn_scope = stack()[2][0]
    # get calling function
    calling_fn_name = stack()[1][3]
    calling_fn = calling_fn_scope.f_locals[calling_fn_name]
    if not hasattr(calling_fn, name):
        setattr(calling_fn, name, factory())
    return getattr(calling_fn, name)

可读性更强一点，但更冗长(Python的Zen:显式比隐式更好):

>>> def func(_static={'counter': 0}):
...     _static['counter'] += 1
...     print _static['counter']
...
>>> func()
1
>>> func()
2
>>>
