The same happens if you try to modify locals():
>>> def test():
... if 0: x = 1
... locals()['x'] = 13
... return x
...
>>> test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 4, in test
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment
The doc for exec says:
Note: The default locals act as described for function locals()
below: modifications to the default locals dictionary should not be
attempted. Pass an explicit locals dictionary if you need to see
effects of the code on locals after function exec() returns.
The doc for locals says:
Note: The contents of this dictionary should not be modified;
changes may not affect the values of local and free variables used
by the interpreter.
This is a tradeoff of practicality for purity: the interpreter runs
faster if you don't make locals() a modifiable dict.
