I have never used a call to "locals()" in my code. Can you show me a

You've received other answers, but just purely from the 'zen' perspective, there
is a nice clean yin/yan symmetry about globals() Vs locals() after all...
Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
I am sure someone can come up with an example of where having this very
distinction is useful ...I am too lazy to dream up one myself right now.
