Meh, that's what I get for trying to make sense of http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#vars -- which implies the above, but isn't explicit about it -- rather than using help. In particular, the docs for locals talk about the inclusion of free variables in functions, which is absent for vars, which might imply that there is a difference. -- \S under construction
