Built-in Objects
****************

Names for built-in exceptions and functions and a number of constants
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.

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 *Summary* for the complete picture on operator
priorities.
