Robert Collins added the comment:
@Demian, I agree that there are more improvements we can make. The current
patch addresses the specific issue of this bug, and if you wished to make a new
issue with further improvements that would be great. I'm going to apply this
patch now though.

Issue #23589:
Demian Brecht added the comment:
Not to throw a wrench into this, but would it perhaps not be worthwhile to
refactor this section in order to include nonlocals as well (obviously not for
2.7)? It seems a little odd to me to have this amount of detail without
mentioning nonlocal.

Or:
In Python, variables inside a function that are only referenced but not

New submission from Yongzhi Pan:
In
https://docs.python.org/3/faq/programming.html#what-are-the-rules-for-local-and-global-variables-in-python,

I think the first sentence could be improved, even though it's correct.
A superficial reading might give the impression that function variables are
implicitly global, or that only the variables inside a function are global,
especially if the reader is not

How about:
In Python, variables that are only referenced inside a function are implicitly
global. If a variable is assigned a value anywhere within the function's
