Understanding Scoping in Python

[yksingh1097]

I was reading Python docs and encountered this example under "Scope and Namespaces".

def scope_test():
    def do_local():
        spam = "local spam"

    def do_nonlocal():
        nonlocal spam
        spam = "nonlocal spam"

    def do_global():
        global spam
        spam = "global spam"

    spam = "test spam"
    do_local()
    print("After local assignment:", spam)
    do_nonlocal()
    print("After nonlocal assignment:", spam)
    do_global()
    print("After global assignment:", spam)

scope_test()
print("In global scope:", spam)

The output to this code is

Output:
After local assignment: test spam
After nonlocal assignment: nonlocal spam
After global assignment: nonlocal spam
In global scope: global spam

My question is, why in output, it is

Output:
After global assignment: nonlocal spam

according to me it should be

Output:
After global assignment: global spam

as spam become a global variable after calling do_global(), and value becomes spam = "global spam"
