Stripping off the exec() call makes it pretty transparent that you're
attempting (successfully on some platforms) to set the value of "4"
to "5".
But you have to do that in *another* Python session, because
the first one is broken in interesing ways, e.g.
>>> (lambda *fs: reduce(lambda f, g: lambda x: f(g(x)), fs))(*([lambda s:
s[1::2]+s[-2::-2]]*54))('motcye;cye._n8fo_drs(d4+)vle=5 ua.8)(isedamr.ticspt
spt rpi')
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'fs' is local and global
>>> lambda z: 42
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'z' is local and global
I never knew that error message existed! Is it even possible
to get it from a non-broken Python?
To answer my own question, apparently yes:
>>> def f(x):
... global x
...
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: name 'x' is local and global
You learn something every day...
