python修改作用域,Python：为什么不能使用locals（）修改函数中的当前作用域？

Why does creating/modifying a member of locals() not work within a function?

Python 2.5 (release25-maint, Jul 20 2008, 20:47:25)

[GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2

>>> # Here's an example of what I expect to be possible in a function:

>>> a = 1

>>> locals()["a"] = 2

>>> print a

2

>>> # ...and here's what actually happens:

>>> def foo():

... b = 3

... locals()["b"] = 4

... print b

...

>>> foo()

3

Why would it? It's designed to return a representation, and was never intended for editing the locals. It's not ever guaranteed to work as a tool for such, as the documentation warns.
