However, the reason that must be stated explicitly is because it's a bad
practice. It means that your function has "side effects" beyond just
returning a value or set of values. This kind of thing is a better
solution:
def change_filename():
return raw_input()
def change_path()
return raw_input()
filename = change_filename()
path = change_path()
