Thanks Eric, this is probably the right section of the docs to reference on the issue. I want to add two clarifications to this section: * Be more explicit that assigments to None and __debug__ are illegal even when used as attributes. IOW it's not just assignment to the built-in names that are illegal. * Add a "Changed in 2.7" to __debug__ stating that assignments to __debug__ as an attribute became illegal. From this though, I think it's clear that Benjamin's change was intentional. I will also add this to the NEWS and What's New files for 2.7. -Barry
