[issue6921] recursion wierdness ... related to variable scoping?

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com> added the comment:

This is almost certainly not a bug in Python.  At a guess, in the 
outermost 'else' clause of your dump method, self.keys can be empty.  Then 
the 'for p, k in enumerate(self.keys):' does zero iterations, so p is not 
defined in the assert;  hence the error message.

If you want help figuring out exactly what's going wrong, I'd suggest 
asking on comp.lang.python.
