<p>I think you're all overthinking this. We want a notation that:<br>
1. Makes it clear attribute access won't work <br>
2. Indicates where the nested definition really lives<br>
3. Gives a reasonable error message if you do try to evaluate it</p>
<p>"f.<locals>.g" ticks all those boxes, so it's fine. </p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
