| Names for built-in exceptions and functions 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.% |
| \footnote{Most descriptions sorely lack explanations of the exceptions |
| that may be raised --- this will be fixed in a future version of |
| this manual.} |

| 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 Chapter 5 of the Python Reference Manual for the |
| complete picture on operator priorities. |
