[issue20263] Function print definable as variables?
New submission from Ozy: Not sure if this is a bug. We're experiencing it in v3.3.2 and was discovered by accident. It seems to be possible to define python functions (like print or input) as variables, as if they're not reserved. If you do that, the command functionality is lost until Python is reseted. For example try this in IDLE: print = 10 print 10 print(print) TypeError: int object is not callable print(10) TypeError: int object is not callable Here is a screenshot http://imgur.com/IpjELhp We tested it, and this doesn't happen in v2. Sorry if this has been reported previously.

R. David Murray added the comment: Yes, that's the way Python works. In Python3, print became a function and is no longer a keyword, so yes, it can be shadowed in the local namespace just like any other Python function. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue20263 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ezio Melotti added the comment:
FTR you can always get it back from builtins.print:
print('test')
test
print = 10
print('test')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
import builtins
print = builtins.print
print('test')
test
