I discovered in my playing that ipy allows the following use (abuse?) of
locals():
def test2( dic, nm ):
dic[nm] = 5
def test()
x = 10
test2( locals(), "x" )
print x # prints 5 in ipy and 10 in CPython 2.4
test()
My question is, is this by design? Can it be relied upon, or will the
behaviour be changed to match CPython? Personally, I would really like it
to remain as is, as it enables some features that I need, but I understand
the motivation for matching CPython wherever possible.
(Keep up the great work, IronPython is superb.)
many tias,
gary
