The obvious documentation for locals() fails to mention that when called from the top level of a module (outside of a function or class body) it returns the same dict as globals(). https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#locals |

FWIW, this isn't a quirk of how locals() works. Instead, it reflects the more interesting reality that at the top level, locals and globals *are* the same dictionary. Also, that is not the only occurrence -- if exec() is called with only one dictionary, that dict is used for both locals and globals. |

Done. exec(...)'s documentation covers raymond's comment. |

FWIW a few years ago I wrote a patch for Issue 17546 that documents three personalities of “locals”, including: * At the module level, the dictionary returned is the global symbol table, also returned by :func:`globals`. |
