buildscripts/smoke.py:442: SyntaxWarning: name 'smoke_db_prefix' is used prior to global declaration
global mongod_executable, mongod_port, shell_executable, continue_on_failure, one_mongod_per_test, small_oplog, smoke_db_prefix, test_path

>>

The problem is that it is used here:

parser.add_option('--smoke-db-prefix', dest='smoke_db_prefix', default=smoke_db_prefix,
help="Prefix to use for the mongods' dbpaths ('%default')")

And so 'global smoke_db_prefix' must occur before this. I am not sure what goes in in parser.add_option. I thought that the global declaration would not be needed before this as that should be a read-only use. But I am not a Python guru. The diff for this is:
