The *execution* of a function introduces a new symbol table used for the local
variables of the function. More precisely, all variable assignments in a
function store the value in the local symbol table; whereas variable references

in the table of built-in names. Thus, global variables cannot be directly
assigned a value within a function (unless named in a :keyword:`global`
statement), although they may be referenced.
