Very nice. Just a few notes: - When you talk about the hierarchy of namespace lookup, you might just mention nested scopes and refer to the PEP for more info, instead of omitting it completely. - In the section "Accessing namespace dictionaries" you write, "Note that for lexically/statically nested scopes (for example, a function defined inside a function), it seems that globals() and locals() still give access to all items in the accessible namespaces, /but/ do not give dictionary style access to all visible scopes." globals() and locals() give access to items in the global and local namespaces, not all accessible namespaces. As was noted in the emails, variables in nested scopes are not included in locals() and globals(). I think that's what you're trying to say but it isn't clear. - PEP 227 is definitely the present, not the future. Nested scopes have been available since Python 2.1.
