R. David Murray added the comment: I would rewrite that paragraph as follows:
A function definition associates the function name with the function object in the current symbol table. The interpreter recognizes the object pointed to by that name as a user-defined function. Other names can also point to that same function object and can then also be used as a function. You will note that I've dropped the mention of renaming entirely, since the function does know it's __name__, and introducing that topic at this point in the tutorial would be confusing and unnecessary. (NB: one could also say "referenced" and "reference" rather than "pointed to" and "point to"; I'm not sure which is more in line with the rest of the tutorial). ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28681> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
