Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I see a special warning in the documentation:
Note: The returned dictionary should not be modified: the effects on the corresponding symbol table are undefined. [2] [2] In the current implementation, local variable bindings cannot normally be affected this way, but variables retrieved from other scopes (such as modules) can be. This may change. Therefore it's okay that modifying the returned dict has no effect on the object. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
