Re: [Python-Dev] PEP for Better Control of Nested Lexical Scopes

The idea here is that foo wouldn't be an object in its own right, but just a collection of names that would be implemented as local variables of my_func.

But why is that better than class namespace(object): pass def my_func(): foo = namespace() (...) ? Georg
