No, you didn't understand the code I posted which explicitely demonstrated the same point you repeated. Again: >>> globals()['None'] = 'ha' >>> None >>> dir() ['None', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', '__package__'] >>> globals()['None'] 'ha' The point of the the last two lines is that the assignment *was* made but was ignored in line 2 [because, obviously, the interpreter bypasses the normal lookup procedure].
