Alex Vig report at bugs.python.org

New submission from Alex Vig:

The documentation for co_names in the inspect module is:

"tuple of names of local variables"

Local variable names are however in co_varnames while co_names contains global variable names. This description should read:

"tuple of names of global variables"
