I know that's not Swedish, but I haven't the foggiest what
you're getting at. Where did lexical scoping enter?

You're the one who did "eff, bot = bot, eff". The only intent I
can infer is obsfuction. The above works the same as yours,
for whatever your definition of "work".

I guess I'm missing something.

def eff():
"eff"
print "eff", eff.__doc__
def bot():
"bot"
print "bot", bot.__doc__
eff()
bot()
eff, bot = bot, eff
eff()
bot()

I guess we're not talking about the same example.

Again, I'm mystified. After "eff, bot = bot, eff", I don't see why
'bot() == "eff bot"' is a wrong result.
Put it another way: are you reporting a bug in 1.5.2? If it's a
bug, why is my example not a bug? If it's not a bug, why
would the existence of other attributes besides __doc__ be a
problem?
