I am using a list on which some functions works in my program. This is a shared list actually and all of my functions can edit it. Is it really necessary to define it as "global" in all the functions?

I mean putting the global keyword behind it in each function that uses it, or defining it outside of all the functions is enough without using the global word behind its definition?
