Good to check there before reporting a doc bug. Terry Jan Reedy Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know about that. Checking it out, though, it seems the entry for nested scopes has been removed in its entirety -- not sure about fixed, but I guess it's definitely not broken anymore! ;) ~Ethan~ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Python v3.1.2 documentation question
In the glossary section it states: doc nested scope The ability to refer to a variable in an enclosing definition. For instance, a function defined inside another function can refer to variables in the outer function. Note that nested scopes work only for reference and not for assignment which will always write to the innermost scope. In contrast, local variables both read and write in the innermost scope. Likewise, global variables read and write to the global namespace. /doc Doesn't the nonlocal keyword make variables in outer scopes writable? ~Ethan~ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
