Names for built-in exceptions and functions are found in a separate
symbol table. This table is searched last, so local and global
user-defined names can override built-in names. Built-in types have
no names but are created easily by constructing an object of the
desired type (e.g., using a literal) and applying the built-in
function \code{type()} to it. They 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 Chapter 5 of the Python Reference Manual for the
complete picture on operator priorities.
