New submission from Nick Coghlan: While committing issue #24129, I noticed the following in the execution model documentation:
================== If a variable is referenced in an enclosing scope, it is illegal to delete the name. An error will be reported at compile time. ================== I'm not sure what that means, as both of the following compiled fine for me under 3.4.2: >>> def f(): ... x = 1 ... def g(): ... nonlocal x ... del x ... >>> def f(): ... x = 1 ... del x ... def g(): ... print(x) ... ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 248036 nosy: docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Deleting names referencing from enclosed and enclosing scopes _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24796> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
