[issue26205] Inconsistency concerning nested scopes

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Vedran: "How is that different from saying that "At any one time, the language and interpreter sees all the scopes as one scope for the purpose of accessing and rebinding."?" For access, one may bypass the default staged access by specifying a specific name

Vedran Čačić added the comment: How is that different from saying that "At any one time, the language and interpreter sees all the scopes as one scope for the purpose of accessing and rebinding."? Any ChainMap presents itself as a dictionary to the outside. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: At any one time, the language and interpreter sees the local scopes of enclosing functions as collectively 'nonlocal' for the purpose of accessing and rebinding. If there are bindings of a name 'x' in multiple enclosing local scopes, the binding for 'x' in

Vedran Čačić added the comment: Just to point out: it can be more than four, right? If you have a function aa within a function bb within a function cc, then bb's and cc's scope are different, even though functionally equivalent from the perspective of aa. -- nosy: +veky

[issue26205] Inconsistency concerning nested scopes

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Would 'three or more' be any clearer than 'at least three'? They mean the same, but the first seems better to me in this context. The real problem with this section are a) the use of Guido's first person 'I' and b) statements that were not changed when nested

[issue26205] Inconsistency concerning nested scopes

Brett Cannon added the comment: It depends on how you want to view things as to whether you can claim there are two or three scopes for module-level code. While it's true that the local scope operates just like global scope, to Python it's more like local == global rather than the local scope

Yannick Duchêne added the comment: Better at least two, if I'm not wrong: the innermost scope may be the module's scope. So there is always at least the module scope and the built‑ins scope, at least two up to four. (if I have not overlooked something) -- nosy: +Hibou57 _

Brett Cannon added the comment: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html for the docs that Roscoe is talking about. So the sentence is technically correct, it just takes careful reading to grasp what's being said. There are "at least three nested scopes", but there can be *up to* four

New submission from Roscoe R.Higgins: In chapter 9. Classes of the Python3.5 documentation it says: "At any time during execution, there are at least three nested scopes whose namespaces are directly accessible:", followed by a list containing 4 items. Further down a middle scope is mentioned
