locals() should be considered read-only. From the docs:
locals( )
Update and return a dictionary representing the current local
symbol table. Warning: The contents of this dictionary should not be
modified; changes may not affect the values of local variables used by
the interpreter.
At global scope, locals() == globals() and modifying locals() will work.
Within a function, modifying locals() will not do what you want.
