New submission from Ivo van der Wijk <python....@in.m3r.nl>:
This issue is also discussed on Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/q/3828611/320057
The following code
def top(deck):
pass
def b():
global deck
results in the error "SyntaxError: name 'deck' is local and global" (slightly
different for 3.x). This is strange by itself, and is caused by special
namespace behaviour attached to the "top" symbol. Renaming the "top" function
actually solves the error!
More technical details are in the stackoverflow link above.
