Re: Variable name has a typo, but code still works. Why?

print "hello world"

I have a nested loop where the outer loop iterates over key value
pairs of a dictionary and the inner loop iterates over a list
each list of which is a mapped value from the dictionary

def showReport(self):
for dev, sessions in self.logger.items():
for tree in session:
self.addTestItem(self, tree)

What I don't understand is why this executes w/o any problems
when "sessions" was spelled as plural (sessionS) while later
being spelled in the singular (session).

Is there some type of name resolution of local variables where
Python makes assumptions?


Is self.logger.items() empty?

This does not raise a NameError even when 'explode' is not defined:

for x in []:
explode


max

.
