| |
| Names for built-in exceptions and functions and a number of constants are found |
| in a separate symbol table. This table is searched last when the interpreter |
| looks up the meaning of a name, so local and global user-defined names can |
| override built-in names. Built-in types are described together here for easy |
| reference. |
| |
| The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by listing them |
| in order of ascending priority (within a table) and grouping operators that have |
| the same priority in the same box. Binary operators of the same priority group |
| from left to right. (Unary operators group from right to left, but there you |
| have no real choice.) See :ref:`operator-summary` for the complete picture on |
| operator priorities. |
