  9. pair: built-in; constants
  10. single: symbol table
  11. Names for built-in exceptions and functions and a number of constants are found
  12. in a separate symbol table. This table is searched last when the interpreter
  13. looks up the meaning of a name, so local and global user-defined names can
  14. override built-in names. Built-in types are described together here for easy
  15. reference.
  16. The tables in this chapter document the priorities of operators by listing them
  17. in order of ascending priority (within a table) and grouping operators that have
  18. the same priority in the same box. Binary operators of the same priority group
  19. from left to right. (Unary operators group from right to left, but there you
  20. have no real choice.) See :ref:`operator-summary` for the complete picture on
  21. operator priorities.
