New submission from Mitchell Model <m...@acm.org>: In the Python Language Reference, in the Naming and binding section of Execution Model, there is a paragraph that states:
The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions, 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, for loop header, or in the second position of an except clause header. The import statement of the form “from ...import *” binds all names defined in the imported module, except those beginning with an underscore. This form may only be used at the module level. This misdescribes the except clause, which now uses "as", and omits the "with ... as" construct which also binds names. ---------- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation message_count: 1.0 messages: 83439 nosy: MLModel, georg.brandl nosy_count: 2.0 severity: normal status: open title: Reference paragraph about the constructs that bind names needs updating for Python 3 versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5469> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
