-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

-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.
