New submission from Ivan Levkivskyi: The documentation at https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html says that:
"Names listed in a global statement must not be used in the same code block textually preceding that global statement" But then later: "CPython implementation detail: The current implementation does not enforce the two restrictions, but programs should not abuse this freedom, as future implementations may enforce them..." Code like this def f(): x = 1 global x gives SyntaxWarning for several releases, maybe it is time to make it a SyntaxError? ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Interpreter Core messages: 274813 nosy: docs@python, gvanrossum, levkivskyi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Make "global after use" a SyntaxError type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27999> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
