Hi, The following example shows that both locals() and globals() are updated when x and f are defined. Shouldn't they be considered and global variable and functions only? Why does it make sense to set locals() as well? Thanks.
$ cat ./main.py #!/usr/bin/env python # vim: set noexpandtab tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=-1 fileencoding=utf-8: d = dict() d['l1'] = set(locals().keys()) d['g1'] = set(globals().keys()) x = 10 def f(): pass d['l2'] = set(locals().keys()) d['g2'] = set(globals().keys()) print d['l2'] - d['l1'] print d['g2'] - d['g1'] import os.path d['l3'] = set(locals().keys()) d['g3'] = set(globals().keys()) print d['l3'] - d['l2'] print d['g3'] - d['g2'] from os import path d['l4'] = set(locals().keys()) d['g4'] = set(globals().keys()) print d['l4'] - d['l3'] print d['g4'] - d['g3'] $ ./main.py set(['x', 'f']) set(['x', 'f']) set(['os']) set(['os']) set(['path']) set(['path']) -- Regards, Peng -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
