In van Rossum's tutorial there is a paragraph in chapter 9.6 which says "Notice that code passed to exec, eval() or evalfile() does not consider the classname of the invoking class to be the current class; this is similar to the effect of the global statement, the effect of which is likewise restricted to code that is byte-compiled together. The same restriction applies to getattr(), setattr() and delattr(), as well as when referencing __dict__ directly."
What does this mean? Could someone give a simple example or point to a web page explaining this. Bob -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
