New submission from ZX <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: "If a name is declared global, then all references and assignments go directly to the middle scope containing the module’s global names. Otherwise, all variables found outside of the innermost scope are read-only (an attempt to write to such a variable will simply create a new local variable in the innermost scope, leaving the identically named outer variable unchanged)." ___excerpt from <The Python Tutorial>-<Classes>-<Python Scopes and Name Spaces>
The above description is correct in Python 2.X. Since 3.X introduced the "nonlocal" keyword, I think the above description is obsolete, need to be upgraded. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 77036 nosy: PyTiger, georg.brandl severity: normal status: open title: A defect in <The Python Tutorial>-<Python Scopes and Name Spaces> (Python3.0) versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4549> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
