Where does it say so? To be honest, I don't know where ti find Nick's claim in the reference manual. I assume Nick is referring to: http://www.python.org/doc/2.2/ref/execframes.html which says it's undefined.
I was actually referring to this warning in the library reference docs for the locals() function:
"""Warning: The contents of this dictionary should not be modified; changes may not affect the values of local variables used by the interpreter."""
Cheers, Nick.
