information (used for debugging), determines where and how execution
continues after the code block's execution has completed, and (perhaps
! most importantly) defines the environment in which names are resolved.
! A \dfn{namespace}\indexii{namespace} is a mapping from names
! (identifiers) to objects. An \dfn{environment}\index{environment} is
! a hierarchical collection of the namespaces that are visible to a
! particular code block. Python namespaces are statically scoped in the
! tradition of Algol, but also has \keyword{global} statement that can
! be used to access the top-level namespace on the environment.
!
! Names refers to objects. Names are introduced by name
! \dfn{binding}\indexii{binding}{name} operations. Each occurrence of a name
! in the program text refers to the binding of that name established in
! the innermost function namespace containing the use. Changing the
! mapping of a name to an object is called
! \dfn{rebinding}\indexii{rebinding}{name}; removing a name is
\dfn{unbinding}\indexii{unbinding}{name}. Namespaces are functionally
equivalent to dictionaries (and often implemented as dictionaries).
! When a name is bound, a mapping is created in the \dfn{local
! namespace}\indexii{local}{namespace} of the execution frame unless the
! name is declared global. If a name binding operation occurs anywhere
! within a code block, all uses of the name within the block are treated
! as references to the local namespace. (Note: This can lead to errors
! when a name is used within a block before it is bound.)
!
! The \dfn{global namespace}\indexii{global}{namespace} determines the
! place where names listed in \keyword{global}\stindex{global}
! statements are defined and searched. The global namespace of a block
! is the namespace of the module in which the block was defined.
!
! If a name is used within a code block, but it is not bound there and
! is not declared global, it is a \dfn{free variable}
! \indexii{free}{variable}. A free variable is resolved using the
! nearest enclosing function block that has a binding for the name. If
! no such block exists, the name is resolved in the global namespace.
- When a name is not found at all, a
- \exception{NameError}\withsubitem{(built-in
- exception)}{\ttindex{NameError}} exception is raised.
-
- The local namespace of a class definition becomes the attribute
- dictionary of the class. If a block is contained within a class
- definition, the name bindings that occur in the containing class block
- are not visible to enclosed blocks.
-
- The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,
- \keyword{import} statements, class and function definitions (these bind
- the class or function name in the defining block), and identifiers
- occurring as the target of an assignment, in a \keyword{for} loop header
- (including list comprehensions), or in the second position of an
- \keyword{except} clause.
-
Whether a name is local or global in a code block is determined by
static inspection of the source text for the code block: in the
! absence of \keyword{global}\stindex{global} statements, a name that is
! bound anywhere in the code block is local in the entire code block;
! all other names are considered global. The \keyword{global} statement
! forces global interpretation of selected names throughout the code
! block.
!
! The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,
\keyword{import} statements, class and function definitions (these
bind the class or function name in the defining block), and targets
that are identifiers if occurring in an assignment, \keyword{for} loop
header, or in the second position of an \keyword{except} clause
! header. The \keyword{import} statement of the form ``\samp{from
! \ldots import *}''\stindex{from} binds all names defined in the
! imported module, except those beginning with an underscore. This form
! may only be used at the module level.
A target occurring in a \keyword{del} statement is also considered bound
! for this purpose (though the actual semantics are to unbind the
! name). It is illegal to unbind a name that is referenced by an
! enclosing scope; the compiler will report a \exception{SyntaxError}.
When a global name is not found in the global namespace, it is
searched in the built-in namespace (which is actually the global
! namespace of the module \module{__builtin__}\refbimodindex{__builtin__}).
! The built-in namespace associated with the execution of a code block
! is actually found by looking up the name \code{__builtins__} in its
! global namespace; this should be a dictionary or a module (in the
! latter case the module's dictionary is used). Normally, the
! \code{__builtins__} namespace is the dictionary of the built-in module
! \module{__builtin__} (note: no `s'). If it isn't, restricted
! execution\indexii{restricted}{execution} mode is in effect.
!
! The namespace for a module is automatically created the first time a
! module is imported. The main module for a script is always called
! \module{__main__}\refbimodindex{__main__}.
!
! The \function{eval()}, \function{execfile()}, and \function{input()}
! functions and the \keyword{exec} statement do not have access to the
! full environment for resolving names. Names may be resolved in the
! local and global namespaces of the caller. Free variables are not
! resolved in the nearest enclosing namespaces, but in the global
! namespace.\footnote{This limitation occurs because the code that is
! executed by these operations is not available at the time the
! module is compiled.}
! The \keyword{exec} statement and the \function{eval()} and
\function{execfile()} functions have optional arguments to override
the global and local namespace. If only one namespace is specified,
it is used for both.
! The built-in functions \function{globals()} and \function{locals()}
! each return a dictionary, representing the current global and local
! namespace respectively. The effect of modifications to these
! dictionaries on the namespace are undefined.\footnote{
The current implementations return the dictionary actually used to
implement the namespace, \emph{except} for functions, where the

information (used for debugging), determines where and how execution
continues after the code block's execution has completed, and (perhaps
! most importantly) defines two namespaces, the local and the global
! namespace, that affect execution of the code block.
! A \dfn{namespace}\index{namespace} is a mapping from names
! (identifiers) to objects. A particular namespace may be referenced by
! more than one execution frame, and from other places as well. Adding
! a name to a namespace is called \dfn{binding}\indexii{binding}{name} a
! name (to an object); changing the mapping of a name is called
! \dfn{rebinding}\indexii{rebinding}{name}; removing a name is
\dfn{unbinding}\indexii{unbinding}{name}. Namespaces are functionally
equivalent to dictionaries (and often implemented as dictionaries).
! The \dfn{local namespace}\indexii{local}{namespace} of an execution
! frame determines the default place where names are defined and
! searched. The
! \dfn{global namespace}\indexii{global}{namespace} determines the place
! where names listed in \keyword{global}\stindex{global} statements are
! defined and searched, and where names that are not bound anywhere in
! the current code block are searched.
Whether a name is local or global in a code block is determined by
static inspection of the source text for the code block: in the
! absence of \keyword{global} statements, a name that is bound anywhere
! in the code block is local in the entire code block; all other names
! are considered global. The \keyword{global} statement forces global
! interpretation of selected names throughout the code block. The
! following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,
\keyword{import} statements, class and function definitions (these
bind the class or function name in the defining block), and targets
that are identifiers if occurring in an assignment, \keyword{for} loop
header, or in the second position of an \keyword{except} clause
! header. Local names are searched only on the local namespace; global
! names are searched only in the global and built-in
! namespace.\footnote{
! If the code block contains \keyword{exec} statements or the
! construct ``\samp{from \ldots import *}'', the semantics of local
! names change: local name lookup first searches the local namespace,
! then the global namespace and the built-in namespace.}
A target occurring in a \keyword{del} statement is also considered bound
! for this purpose (though the actual semantics are to ``unbind'' the
! name).
When a global name is not found in the global namespace, it is
searched in the built-in namespace (which is actually the global
! namespace of the module
! \module{__builtin__}\refbimodindex{__builtin__}). The built-in
! namespace associated with the execution of a code block is actually
! found by looking up the name \code{__builtins__} is its global
! namespace; this should be a dictionary or a module (in the latter case
! its dictionary is used). Normally, the \code{__builtins__} namespace
! is the dictionary of the built-in module \module{__builtin__} (note:
! no `s'); if it isn't, restricted
! execution\indexii{restricted}{execution} mode is in effect. When a
! name is not found at all, a
! \exception{NameError}\withsubitem{(built-in
! exception)}{\ttindex{NameError}} exception is raised.

! The following table lists the meaning of the local and global
! namespace for various types of code blocks. The namespace for a

! imported (i.e., when it is loaded). Note that in almost all cases,
! the global namespace is the namespace of the containing module ---
! scopes in Python do not nest!
