It was only after reading how all Python scopes are associated with Python objects that the light-bulb went on! :-) Modules, functions, classes, objects, packages, etc. are all objects, and each object has its scope (a dictionary). This is kind of a neat idea. However, it could trip up those who are used to the block=scope rule from C/C++/Java/Perl.
