Although scopes are determined statically, they are used dynamically. At any time during execution, there are at least three nested scopes whose namespaces are directly accessible: the innermost scope, which is searched -first, contains the local names; the namespaces of any enclosing code -blocks (a module, function, or class definition) which are searched starting -with the nearest enclosing scope; the middle scope, searched next, contains -the current module's global names; and the outermost scope (searched last) -is the namespace containing built-in names. +first, contains the local names; the namespaces of any enclosing +functions, which are searched starting with the nearest enclosing scope; +the middle scope, searched next, contains the current module's global names; +and the outermost scope (searched last) is the namespace containing built-in +names. If a name is declared global, then all references and assignments go directly to the middle scope containing the module's global names. |
