\index{name}

\index{identifier}

|

An identifier occurring as an atom is a reference to a local, global
|
||||
or built-in name binding. If a name is assigned to anywhere in a code
|
||||
block (even in unreachable code), and is not mentioned in a
|
||||
\keyword{global} statement in that code block, then it refers to a local
|
||||
name throughout that code block. When it is not assigned to anywhere
|
||||
in the block, or when it is assigned to but also explicitly listed in
|
||||
a \keyword{global} statement, it refers to a global name if one exists,
|
||||
else to a built-in name (and this binding may dynamically
|
||||
change).\footnote{The Python interpreter provides a useful set of
|
||||
predefined built-in functions. It is not recommended to reuse
|
||||
(hide) these names with self defined objects. See the
|
||||
\citetitle[../lib/built-in-funcs.html]{Python Library Reference} for
|

the descriptions of built-in functions and methods.}

An identifier occurring as an atom is a name. See Section 4.1 for
|

documentation of naming and binding.

When the name is bound to an object, evaluation of the atom yields

that object. When a name is not bound, an attempt to evaluate it
