Another dumb scope question for a closure.

So sorry because I know I'm doing something wrong.

574 > cat c2.py
#! /usr/local/bin/python2.4

def inc(jj):
def dummy():
jj = jj + 1
return jj
return dummy

h = inc(33)
print 'h() = ', h()
575 > c2.py
h() =
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./c2.py", line 10, in ?
print 'h() = ', h()
File "./c2.py", line 5, in dummy
jj = jj + 1
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'jj' referenced before assignment

I could have sworn I was allowed to do this. How do I fix it?

I have seen this approach on ActiveState Cookbook but can not find a
reference to it right now.
.... def dummy():
.... dummy.jj += 1
.... return dummy.jj
.... dummy.jj = jj
.... return dummy
