+.. index::

+ pair: built-in; functions
+ pair: built-in; constants
+ single: symbol table
+
+Names for built-in exceptions and functions and a number of constants are found
+in a separate symbol table. This table is searched last when the interpreter
+looks up the meaning of a name, so local and global user-defined names can
+override built-in names. Built-in types are described together here for easy
+reference. [#]_
+
+The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by listing them
+in order of ascending priority (within a table) and grouping operators that have
+the same priority in the same box. Binary operators of the same priority group
+from left to right. (Unary operators group from right to left, but there you
+have no real choice.) See :ref:`operator-summary` for the complete picture on
+operator priorities.

+.. [#] Most descriptions sorely lack explanations of the exceptions that may be raised
+ --- this will be fixed in a future version of this manual.
