Benjamin Peterson <benja...@python.org> added the comment:
I'm not sure what I correct behavior is in this case. Consider the function
equivalent:
x = 3
def f(x):
def m():
x = x
print x
m()
f(4)
which gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "x.py", line 7, in <module>
f(4)
File "x.py", line 6, in f
m()
File "x.py", line 4, in m
x = x
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment
The class example works because name namespaces are unoptimized, so failing to
find a binding in the local (class) namepsace, Python looks at the globals and
finds the global definition.
