I've come across two curious behaviours of a function using custom globals.
In both cases, I have a function where __globals__ is set to a ChainMap.
In the first, the builtin __import__ appears to both exist and not-exist at
the same time: I can see the __import__ builtin, but the `import` statement
fails with:
ImportError: __import__ not found
In the second, I can use `global` to declare a name in the global scope,
apparently assign to it, but then the name doesn't exist.
Attached is a single demo script which demonstrates the problems, for Python
3.
I think both of these are bugs, or at least they are bugs if
function.__globals__ is allowed to be set to something other than the
module globals.
Have I missed something? Is there documentation that says I shouldn't
replace __globals__ with another dict?
Is there a bug in my code?
If not, I think these are both bugs. Does anyone disagree?
