No, it's new to me.

I think so. I've noted that the locals() function also doesn't see
cell variables:
from __future__ import nested_scopes
import pdb
def f():
a = 12
print locals()
def g(): print a
g()
a = 100
g()
#pdb.set_trace()
f()
This prints
{}
12
100
When I enable the pdb.set_trace() call, indeed the variable a is not
found.

Yes!
