(1.3.3.3) Rough structure of documents

I show you a true story as an example of understanding the rough structure of documents.

One day I was talking about Python's scope system. I said the global scope in Python corresponds to each script file. Mr. X asked me as follows.

The description of the global statement in the "Python Language Referene" does not say such a thing. Where is it written?

The first thought when I heard that is as follows.

It should be written in "Python tutorial."

Also, in "Python language reference" it should not be in the grammar definition chapter. There should be a chapter of the execution model before the grammar definition chapter.

After that, I search some keyword on Google and answered as follows.

It is written in "9.2. Scope and namespace of Python" of "Python tutorial."

Also, it is in the section "naming and binding" in "Python language reference."

Mr. X is not an inferior programmer than me. The difference between he and me is that I knew the rough structure of the Python documents. *23

What Mr. X saw was 7. Simple statements > 7.12. The global statement.

I show him is 4. Execution model > 4.2. Naming and binding > 4.2.2. Resolution of names.
