New submission from Chris Monsanto <ch...@monsan.to>: I have a function whose closure contains a local variable that shadows a global variable (lets call it x). If I create a class as follows:
class Test(object): x = x Test.x will contain the value of the global x, not the local x. This ONLY happens when the names are the same, and it only happens in the class body; i.e., "class Test(object): y = x" and class "Test(object): pass; Test.x = x" work fine. However, if there is an assignment x = x AND you make other assignments, such as y = x, in the body, the other variables will have the wrong value too. Test case attached. Problem noticed on Python 2.6.2 on Windows and 2.6.5 on Linux. ---------- files: test.py messages: 110037 nosy: monsanto priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: erroneous behavior when creating classes inside a closure versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17950/test.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9226> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
