Martin Panter added the comment: What about instead of
''' Whether changes to one are reflected in the other after the call returns is undefined; additionally, the dictionary may change unpredictably after the call, and how it does is implementation-specific. ''' substitue this wording: ''' Whether changes to one are reflected in the other after the call returns, and when such updates occur, is undefined and implementation-specific. ''' The old wording seems under-specified. It would allow a function call, garbage collection, etc, to clobber the dictionary, say overwriting with another function’s locals(), before you get a chance to work with the dictionary. ---------- nosy: +vadmium _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17546> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
