New submission from anatoly techtonik: -locals() returns object that does't walk like a duck. +locals() returns object that does't work like a dict.
Much of the confusion with locals() comes from the fact that returned object is labelled a dict, but this heisendict changes its behavior when you're trying to introspect it. So, to give users a hint that this object is different, I propose to rename it to a different type and supply an appropriate help() for it. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 185213 nosy: techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: rename type returned by locals() to livedict versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17546> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
