- <H1>2. Built-in Types, Exceptions and Functions</H1>
- Names for built-in exceptions and functions are found in a separate
- symbol table. This table is searched last when the interpreter looks
- up the meaning of a name, so local and global
- user-defined names can override built-in names. Built-in types are
- described together here for easy reference.<A NAME="footnoteref1" HREF="#footnotetext1">(1)</A>
- 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.

- Most descriptions sorely lack explanations of the exceptions
- that may be raised --- this will be fixed in a future version of
- this manual.<P>
