[issue5317] URL given for IronPython in CPython documentation incorrect

[David Fugate]

New submission from David Fugate midnigh...@yahoo.com:

http://docs.python.org/reference/introduction.html#alternate-
implementations states that the IronPython project's website URL is 
http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ironpython.  This site has actually 
been dead for quite some time and our official project page is 
http://www.ironpython.com/ which we plan on revamping shortly.

Thanks,

Dave

[issue4220] Builtins treated as free variables?

[David Fugate]

New submission from David Fugate [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

#--
VERSION AFFECTED: 2.5 and 2.6
BUILD TYPE: x86
FLAGS PASSED TO PYTHON.EXE: None
OPERATING SYSTEM: 32-bit Windows Vista SP1

#--
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
According to 
http://docs.python.org/dev/reference/executionmodel.html#interaction-
with-dynamic-features, a free variable is a variable used from some 
local scope that is not defined there.  The behavior of Python 2.5/2.6 
is that it treats certain Python keywords and builtin types/functions 
used in nested scopes as free variables as well.  This seems a little 
odd.

Could the documentation be clarified to state: usage of certain Python 
keywords are considered to be free variables.  I.e., a line simply 
containing int triggers the free variable behavior.  Alternatively, 
usage of builtin types/functions could be allowed from nested functions 
with calls to exec…

Thanks,

Dave

REPRODUCTION SNIPPET:
def a():
def b():
x = long(3) #Replace me with x = 3L and this works
int #This must be commented out
exec 


emits the following:
  File garbage.py, line 4
exec 
 SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function 'b' it is 
a nested function
unless the x = long(3) and int lines are commented out.
