The explanation of namespaces in section 9.2 in documentation (http://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#python-scopes-and-namespaces) is just so complicated without (at least one tiny) example. The example would ease the comprehension of the section by a high factor.

What is wrong with the example given here https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#scopes-and-namespaces-example ?

Thanks for the report, Karl. Could you give more details about what's missing? The section gives some examples of namespaces:

    [...] the set of built-in names (containing functions such as abs(), and built-in exception names); the global names in a module; and the local names in a function invocation.

I'm not sure if it's worth to convert them to code examples.
