New submission from Xavier Combelle: According to my experiment in code, the current behavior of python3.5 is different that the document says. If I understand well the purpose of this behavior is to propagate the __builtins__ global constant if globals has not one.
In https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/functions.html#eval it is written "If the globals dictionary is present and lacks ‘__builtins__’, the current globals are copied into globals before expression is parsed." only the __builtins__ looks copied not all the globals In https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/functions.html#exec It is written: "If the globals dictionary does not contain a value for the key __builtins__, a reference to the dictionary of the built-in module builtins is inserted under that key." it looks like it is not a reference to the built-in module builtin, but a reference to __builtin__ global ---------- title: builtins propagation is misleading described in exec and eval documentation -> __builtins__ propagation is misleading described in exec and eval documentation versions: +Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26363> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
