.. function:: locals()
- Return a mapping object representing the current local symbol table, with
- variable names as the keys, and their currently bound references as the
- values.
-
- At module scope, as well as when using :func:`exec` or :func:`eval` with
- a single namespace, this function returns the same namespace as
- :func:`globals`.
-
- At class scope, it returns the namespace that will be passed to the
- metaclass constructor.
-
- When using ``exec()`` or ``eval()`` with separate local and global
- arguments, it returns the local namespace passed in to the function call.
-
- In all of the above cases, each call to ``locals()`` in a given frame of
- execution will return the *same* mapping object. Changes made through
- the mapping object returned from ``locals()`` will be visible as assigned,
- reassigned, or deleted local variables, and assigning, reassigning, or
- deleting local variables will immediately affect the contents of the
- returned mapping object.
-
- In an :term:`optimized scope` (including functions, generators, and
- coroutines), each call to ``locals()`` instead returns a fresh dictionary
- containing the current bindings of the function's local variables and any
- nonlocal cell references. In this case, name binding changes made via the
- returned dict are *not* written back to the corresponding local variables
- or nonlocal cell references, and assigning, reassigning, or deleting local
- variables and nonlocal cell references does *not* affect the contents
- of previously returned dictionaries.
-
- Calling ``locals()`` as part of a comprehension in a function, generator, or
- coroutine is equivalent to calling it in the containing scope, except that
- the comprehension's initialised iteration variables will be included. In
- other scopes, it behaves as if the comprehension were running as a nested
- function.
-
- Calling ``locals()`` as part of a generator expression is equivalent to
- calling it in a nested generator function.

The behaviour of ``locals()`` in a comprehension has been updated as

.. method:: contents()
:abstractmethod:
- Returns an :term:`iterable` of strings over the contents of
- the package. Do note that it is not required that all names
- returned by the iterator be actual resources, e.g. it is
- acceptable to return names for which :meth:`is_resource` would
- be false.
-
- Allowing non-resource names to be returned is to allow for
- situations where how a package and its resources are stored
- are known a priori and the non-resource names would be useful.
- For instance, returning subdirectory names is allowed so that
- when it is known that the package and resources are stored on
- the file system then those subdirectory names can be used
- directly.

- The abstract method returns an iterable of no items.
