In fact, the official docs, when they discuss scopes, are off to a bad start: Names refer to objects. Names are introduced by name binding operations. Each occurrence of a name in the program text refers to the binding of that name established in the innermost function block containing the use. The first paragraph implies that binding can only occur within functions, which is either incorrect, or presupposes a definition of "function" that is not what most programmers would recognize. In general, I found the docs very unclear on the subject of scoping. PEP 227 is much better, but I wouldn't have thought of it as "the specs". kynn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
