* Backport 1.54 1.53 1.52 1.51 1.50 and 1.49:Raymond Hettinger2002-10-051-36/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to improve the explanation of the "raise" statement and how its arguments are interpreted. This closes SF bug #532467. Fix Typo. Reword explanation of global statement since an undeclared global is a free variable and is subject to those rules. Note the sole case in which the ban on "from ... import *" within a function is enforced. Remove the following restriction: Names bound by import statements may not occur in global statements in the same scope. Why not? Note that it is illegal to delete a cell variable. Note that deleteing an unbound local will raise a NameError.

* Backport Guido's changes from revision 1.89:Fred Drake2002-06-041-47/+89
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Addressed SF bug 421973 (finally). Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise, because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more up-to-date information. Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same meaning as None. FLD: My modifications to Guido's markup are included from revision 1.90.
