It means you can't do this if main() is bound by Psyco:

def main():
    x=5
    print eval("123+x")

because as the warning message says, Psycoed eval() cannot see the
locals (x here). And it suggest that you should consider using
eval() in its two- or three-arguments form, which is described
in the Python Library Reference. So with Psyco, you might use

y = 3
def main():
    x=5
    print eval("y+x", globals(), {'x':x})

But in your case, it of course doesn't matter because in
the expression 123+456 you aren't using any locals.
