It is better but the reference to class statements does not help (at least me) very much. Instead, I would try to explain how those namespaces are used, e.g. bindings are stored in the "local" namespace; lookups are first performed in the "local", then the "global" namespace, etc. (e.g. about the effect of `global`, `nonlocal`). -- Dieter -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
