Terry J. Reedy added the comment: + NAME_ERROR_MSGy, name); will give a NameError ;-).
The patch undoes the change from 'name' to 'global name'. Skimming the PEP, I do not see this change mandated or justified by the PEP. So my current view: while it is true that it is the final, global name lookup that fails, I agree with Ram that it is not necessarily a global name that was mistyped or is missing. So in absence of better justification of the status quo, I would apply the patch. Backport to 3.3 would be ok but not necessary, as the message is not nearly as wrong as some have been. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17032> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
