Scopes and exceptions

[Magnus Heino]

Could someone please explain this to me:


[magnus at daysleeper magnus]$ cat e.py
 
a = 'test'
b = 'test'
 
print 'a      = %s' % id(a)
print 'b      = %s' % id(b)
 
def func():
        print "'test' = %s" % id('test')
 
func()
 
try:
        test, '%s' % (a,)
except NameError, e:
        print 'e      = %s' % id(e)
        print 'a      = %s' % id(a)
        print 'b      = %s' % id(b)
        print "'test' = %s" % id('test')


[magnus at daysleeper magnus]$ python e.py
a      = 136227368
b      = 136227368
'test' = 136227368
e      = 135997204
a      = 136227368
b      = 136227368
'test' = 136227368
[magnus at daysleeper magnus]$
