'Bug' in modules tutorial
Hi, guys, I'm only starting out with Python, and the docs are a great help. Congrats on an excelent work! Found a bug though: in <http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html> there's a footnote that reads: In fact function definitions are also 'statements' that are 'executed'; the execution of a module-level function enters the function name in the module's global symbol table. It seems to me it should be: In fact function definitions are also 'statements' that are 'executed'; the execution of a module-level function *definition* enters the function name in the module's global symbol table. Congrats again! Regards: Wences
