OTOH I like your idea of suggesting variable names when NameError is raised, but i don't know how easy this is to implement in CPython.
There's another proposal in the pipeline, regarding the addition of extra info to various exceptions, and one of the points it makes is that suggestions could be made on NameError (which would probably be a feature wanted more in interactive mode than elsewhere). How easily it can be made truly useful is anyone's guess; I generally find that "Did you mean" lists are more often useless than helpful. ChrisA
