[issue36739] "4.6. Defining Functions" should mention nonlocal

[Peter Bauer]

New submission from Peter Bauer :

In the fourth paragraph, the sentence 

"Thus, global variables cannot be directly assigned a value within a function 
(unless named in a global statement)"

should somehow be extended to mention the nonlocal-statements:

Thus, global variables or variables of enclosing functions cannot be directly 
assigned a value within a function (unless named in a global statement (for 
global variables) or named in a nonlocal statement (for variables of enclosing 
functions)
