(Hilariously, I couldn't post this comment on bugs.python.org due to some kind of Unicode bug ("Edit Error: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 208-210: invalid continuation byte"), so I've rendered "\U0001D555\U0001D556\U0001D557" as "DEF" in the below.) Thanks for clarifying the terminology re: reserved words vs. keywords. > The effect is the same as "globals()['DEF']=1" (which is the same as > passing 'def' or anything else that normalizes to it) and that in > turn allows ">>> DEF", which returns 1. This doesn't quite seem to be the case, at least on Pythons 3.9 and 3.10: >>> globals()['DEF']=1 >>> DEF Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'def' is not defined >>> globals()['def']=1 >>> DEF 1 It looks the dictionary interface to `globals` doesn't normalize like the parser does. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46520> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
